Semaxanib
Semaxanib (
proposed INN
, also semaxinib or SU5416) is a drug intended for use in the treatment of cancer. It is still at an
experimental stage
and as such has not yet received a
licence
for use on human patients (except in the setting of a
clinical trial
). Semaxanib is a potent and selective synthetic
inhibitor
of the Flk-1/KDR
vascular endothelial growth factor
(VEGF) receptor
tyrosine kinase
. It targets the VEGF pathway, and both
in vivo
and
in vitro
studies have demonstrated
antiangiogenic
potential.
