Src tyrosine kinases regulate normal cell growth: the expression of Src kinase is upregulated during the normal hair cycle during the proliferative anagen phase. Additionally, Src tyrosine kinases act as key modulators of cancer cell proliferation, survival, angiogenesis, migration, invasion and metastasis. Src is frequently upregulated in various epithelial tumours including colon, breast and pancreas compared with the adjacent normal tissues. The expression and activity of Src are also enhanced in human actinic keratosis, which is characterized by hyperproliferative premalignant skin lesions. The pathogenesis of actinic keratosis commonly involves skin inflammation, oxidative stress, immunosuppression, impaired apoptosis, mutagenesis, dysregulation of keratinocyte growth and proliferation, and tissue remodelling. In vitro studies suggest that Src plays a predominant role in the early stages of human skin tumour development, rather than at later stages of tumour progression. The exact mechanism of tirbanibulin as a topical treatment of actinic keratosis has not been fully elucidated; however, it mainly works by inhibiting fast proliferating cells. Tirbanibulin is a non-ATP competitive Src kinase inhibitor and tubulin polymerization inhibitor. It binds to the peptide substrate binding site of Src, a primary target of tirbanibulin, and blocking its downstream signalling pathways that promote cancer cell migration, proliferation, and survival. Tublin is responsible for cell migration, protein transport, and mitosis: tibranibulin directly binds to the colchicine-binding site of beta-tubulin and causes induces tubulin depolymerization. It is also hypothesized that inhibition of Src can also contribute to the inhibitory effects on microtubule polymerization. At low nanomolar concentrations, tirbanibulin induces G2/M phase cell cycle arrest in a reversible and dose-dependent manner. By inhibiting microtubule polymerization, tirbanibulin also induces mitotic catastrophe.
Tirbanibulin is indicated for the topical treatment of actinic keratosis on the face or scalp.
