Dovitinib
Dovitinib Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Dovitinib is an orally active small molecule that exhibits potent inhibitory activity against multiple RTKs involved in tumor growth and angiogenesis. Preclinical data show that dovitinib works to inhibit multiple kinases associated with different cancers, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and multiple myeloma. Chiron currently has three ongoing Phase I clinical trials for dovitinib.

How Dovitinib works
Unlike many kinase inhibitors that only target vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Dovitinib inhibits receptors in the fibroblast growth factor (FGF ) pathway, as well as VEGF and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). FGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibition is potentially of therapeutic significance to a group of myeloma patients whose cancer cells express high levels of surface FGF receptors.
