Targeting anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene alterations in neuroblastoma by using alkylating pyrrole-imidazole polyamides.

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) aberration is related to high-risk neuroblastomas and is an important therapeutic target. As acquired resistance to ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors is inevitable, novel anti-ALK drug development is necessary in order to overcome potential drug resistance against ATP-c...
