FAK-IN-3 (Compound 36) is a potent inhibitor of focal adhesion kinase ( FAK ). FAK-IN-3 not only decreases migration and invasion of PA-1 cells, but also reduces expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9. FAK-IN-3 inhibits tumor growth and metastasis, and no obvious adverse effects. FAK-IN-3 has the potential for the research of ovarian cancer.
