Tyrosine kinases phosphorylate proteins on tyrosine residues, producing a biological signal that influences many aspects of cellular function including cell growth, proliferation, differentiation and death. Constitutive or unregulated activity through mutation or over expression of these enzymes is a common pathologic feature in many acute and chronic leukemias. Inhibition of tyrosine kinases represents a strategy to disrupt signaling pathways that promote neoplastic growth and survival in hematologic malignancies, and likely in other neoplasias as well. This review will focus on tyrosine kinases that have been implicated in the pathogenesis of hematologic diseases other than chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and will discuss the evidence for the use of small molecules to target these kinases.
