Vatalinib Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Vatalinib (PTK787/ZK-222584) is a new oral antiangiogenic molecule that inhibits all known vascular endothelial growth factor receptors. Vatalinib is under investigation for the treatment of solid tumors.
Vatalinib is a novel oral angiogenesis inhibitor being developed by Schering (in collaboration with Novartis AG). Vatalinib selectively inhibits the tyrosine kinase domains of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor, and c-KIT.
