Background
Ceritinib effectively inhibits ALK harboring L1196M, G1269A, I1171T, and S1206Y mutations, and a cocrystal structure of ceritinib bound to ALK provides structural bases for this increased potency. Ceritinib is active in NSCLC cell lines with L1196M, G1269A, I1171T and S1206Y substitutions in ALK, which confer resistance to crizotinib.
