Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States and worldwide, accounting for over 150,000 deaths per year in the United States and over 1 million deaths per year world-wide. Non-small cell lung cancer accounts for slightly over 80% of all lung cancer cases. Therefore the development of novel targeted therapeutics for non-small cell lung cancer is of great clinical and public health importance. We will synthesize, test, and optimize inhibitors of three protein kinases, EGFR, TBK1, and DDR2, that may serve as novel drugs to treat non-small cell lung cancer.
