The structure of entospletinib.

Gilead Sciences has licensed its spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) inhibitors to the oncology-focused biotech firm Kronos Bio. The collection of small molecules includes entospletinib, which has already gone through multiple Phase II studies in blood cancers, and lanraplenib, which has completed Phase II trials in lupus and other autoimmune diseases.
