Here we report the small molecule eCF506 locks SRC in its native inactive conformation, thereby inhibiting both enzymatic and scaffolding functions that prevent phosphorylation and complex formation with its partner FAK. This mechanism of action resulted in highly potent and selective pathway inhibition in culture and in vivo. Treatment with eCF506 resulted in increased antitumor efficacy and tolerability in syngeneic murine cancer models, demonstrating significant therapeutic advantages over existing SRC/ABL inhibitors. Therefore, this mode of inhibiting SRC could lead to improved treatment of SRC-associated disorders. Significance: Small molecule–mediated inhibition of SRC impairing both catalytic and scaffolding functions confers increased anticancer properties and tolerability compared with other SRC/ABL inhibitors.}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities RTI2018-099318-B-I00}, organization = {European Commission}, organization = {Cancer Research UK}, organization = {Molecular Interactions Facility funds at the CIB-CSIC}, organization = {Vice-Rectorate for Research of the University of Granada}, organization = {CRUK Career Development Fellowship C49791/A17367}, organization = {European Research Council (ERC) 716379}, organization = {CRUK Programme Grant C157/A15703}, organization = {CMVM of the University of Edinburgh}, organization = {Wellcome Trust}, organization = {European Commission H2020-MSCA-IF-2016-749299}, publisher = {American Association for Cancer Research}, title = {A Conformation Selective Mode of Inhibiting SRC Improves Drug Efficacy and Tolerability}, doi = {10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-21-0613}, author = {Temps, Carolin and Valero Griñán, María Teresa}, }
