What are the Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs)?

A tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) is a pharmaceutical drug which blocks the activity of tyrosine kinases, enzymes involved in the cell signaling process. Indeed, tyrosine kinases influence the communication, development, division and growth of cells. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are therefore a type of growth factor inhibitor therapy.

Some tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKis) are used in the development of new therapeutics solutions for cancer. They are implicated in tumorigenesis and progression, and have emerged as major targets for drug discovery.

For a few years, numerous TKIs proven to be effective anti-tumor agents and anti-leukemic agents.

Examples of TKIs

◈ Afatinib
◈ Axitinib
◈ Cabozantinib
◈ Regorafenib
◈ Selumetinib
◈ Sorafenib
◈ Gefitinib
◈ Lapatinib
◈ Lenvatinib
◈ Pazopanib
◈ Sunitinib
◈ Vandetanib
