Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer type in men. One of the most troublesome aspects of PCa is that androgen-dependent PCa inevitably progresses to highly aggressive and life-threatening castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Kinases are key regulators of critical cancer processes such as cancer cell proliferation, invasion, differentiation or angiogenesis. Recent advances have shed light on molecular targeting inhibitors of kinases in CRPC. Aberrant expression of certain kinases has been implicated in the development and progression of PCa. Among them, some kinase inhibitors have emerged as promising drug targets for CRPC. In this review, we provide an overview of new therapeutic agents which arrived in an advanced stage of clinical testing, especially focusing on the targets of HGF/c-Met and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathways.
