Abstract: Kinases are pivotal regulators in tumorigenesis and metastasis by modulating
the expression of oncogenes and the transcription of antioncogenes directly or indirectly.
Correspondingly, multifarious 3-substituted indolin-2-one derivatives as selective kinase
inhibitors for cancer therapy exhibited a low nanomolar activity with prominent efficacy,
superior response rate and admirable tolerability. Particularly, certain 3-substituted indolin-
2-one derivatives have met the requirements for clinical trials or the pharmaceutical
market. Herein, we focus on the traits of 3-substituted indolin-2-one derivatives as kinase
inhibitors for cancer therapy, overview recent progress of 3-substituted indolin-2-one derivatives
as kinase inhibitors for cancer therapy, analyze the selectivity for tyrosine kinases
inhibitors and serine/threonine kinases inhibitors from the molecular aspects based on
the molecular docking studies, summarize the structure-activity relationships (SARs) as
selective kinase inhibitors and provide our perspectives for the development of 3-
substituted indolin-2-one derivatives as kinase inhibitors for cancer therapy.
