Sunitinib-sutent
“Sunitinib” is the Drug / Molecule content in "Sutent". Sunitinib inhibits cellular signaling by targeting multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs).These include all recepta for platelet-derived growt factor receptars (PDGF-Rs) and vascular endothelial growt factor receptars (VEGFRs), which play a role in both tumor angiogenesis and tumor cell proliferation. The simultaneous inhibition of these targets therefore leads to both reduced tumor vascularization and cancer cell death, and ultimately tumor shrinkage.
