BOSUTINIB MONOHYDRATE vs LENVATINIB
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Bosutinib is a dual Src/Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It inhibits the BCR-ABL kinase, which is constitutively active in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and also inhibits Src family kinases. It has minimal inhibitory activity against c-KIT and PDGFR.
Lenvatinib is a kinase inhibitor that inhibits the receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) including VEGFR1 (FLT1), VEGFR2 (KDR), VEGFR3 (FLT4), FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, FGFR4, PDGFRα, KIT, and RET. It also inhibits the kinase activities of other RTKs involved in tumor angiogenesis and tumor growth.
