Axitinib is a second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor that works by selectively inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3). Through this mechanism of action, axitinib blocks angiogenesis, tumour growth and metastases. It is reported to exhibit potency that is 50-450 times higher than that of the first generation VEGFR inhibitors. Axitinib is an indazole derivative. It is most commonly marketed under the name Inlyta® and is available in oral formulations.
Used in kidney cell cancer and investigated for use/treatment in pancreatic and thyroid cancer.
