A tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) is a pharmaceutical drug that inhibits tyrosine kinases. Tyrosine kinases are enzymes responsible for the activation of many proteins by signal transduction cascades. The proteins are activated by adding a phosphate group to the protein (phosphorylation), a step that TKIs inhibit. TKIs are typically used as ...
Intedanib is a multiple tyrosine kinase inhibitor and is the first drug to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. [4] Indol derivatives with 1-NH of 2-indolinone motif that is an H-bond donor, and 2-carbonyl oxygen that acts as an H-bond acceptor, bind with Glu915 and Cys917, respectively.
Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with selective activity against RET, VEGFR-2 and EGFR: Medullary thyroid cancer. Diarrhoea, hypertension, QT interval prolongation, depression, electrolyte anomalies, hypothyroidism and GI perforation (uncommon). 2.3 mTOR inhibitors: Everolimus: PO: mTOR inhibitor.
ALK inhibitors are anti-cancer drugs that act on tumours with variations of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) such as an EML4-ALK translocation. [1] They fall under the category of tyrosine kinase inhibitors , which work by inhibiting proteins involved in the abnormal growth of tumour cells.
These inhibitors are used to treat cancers like non-small cell lung cancer, medullary thyroid carcinoma, and some types of colorectal and pancreatic cancer. RET inhibitors fall under the category of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which work by inhibiting proteins involved in the abnormal growth of cancer cells. Existing molecules fall in two ...
Regorafenib, sold under the brand name Stivarga among others, is an oral multi-kinase inhibitor developed by Bayer which targets angiogenic, stromal and oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK). Regorafenib shows anti- angiogenic activity due to its dual targeted VEGFR2-TIE2 tyrosine kinase inhibition.
Osimertinib, sold under the brand name Tagrisso, [6] is a medication used to treat non-small-cell lung carcinomas with specific mutations. [7] [8] It is a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
Nilotinib is a Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor and works by interfering with signalling within the cancer cell. [3] [8] Nilotinib was approved for medical use in the United States in 2007. [3] [8] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. [9] It is approved as a generic medication. [10]
