Cediranib | AZD-2171|Recentin|AZD2171|AZD 2171 | KIT Inhibitor 57 VEGFR1 Inhibitor 6 VEGFR2 Inhibitor 37 VEGFR3 Inhibitor 6 | Cediranib (AZD-2171) is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of all three vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (FLT1, KDR, and FLT4) and KIT, thereby blocking VEGF-signaling, angiogenesis, and tumor cell growth (PMID: 15899831, PMID: 24714778, PMID: 32444417). | |
PLX4720 | PLX-4720|PLX 4720 | BRAF Inhibitor 25 | PLX4720 is a 7-azaindole derivative and RAF kinase inhibitor with greater affinity for BRAF V600E than BRAF wild-type, which may induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, and lead to tumor growth inhibition and regression (PMID: 18287029). | |
Selumetinib | Koselugo | AZD6244|ARRY-142886 | MEK inhibitor (Pan) 26 MEK1 Inhibitor 26 MEK2 Inhibitor 24 | Koselugo (selumetinib) inhibits mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases (MEK or MAPK/ERK kinases) 1 and 2, which may prevent the activation of MEK1/2-dependent effector proteins and transcription factors, reducing cellular proliferation in various cancers (PMID: 27467210). Koselugo (selumetinib) is FDA approved for use in pediatric patients of 2 years or older with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who have symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas (FDA.gov). |
