Tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) is a tyrosine kinase family activated by nerve growth factor, including TRKA, TRKB and TRKC, which are encoded by NTRK1 (neurorosine receptor tyrosine kinase 1), NTRK2 and NTRK3 genes, respectively. After phosphorylation, TRK kinase can activate downstream signaling molecules, and then regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, metabolism and apoptosis. The NTRK gene can fuse with other genes, resulting in high kinase expression or continuous increase of kinase activity, leading to cancer. The main strategy for targeting NTRK fusion genes is to develop small molecule inhibitors of TRK that act on the intracellular kinase region. In recent years, the development of TRK small molecule inhibitors has also attracted the attention of researchers. The structure, physiological function, TRK inhibitors and therapeutic strategies to overcome drug resistance of TRK kinase are reviewed.
