Description

Pazinib 200 mg contains Pazopanib, a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that blocks key receptors responsible for tumor cell proliferation and blood vessel formation. It is widely used in oncology for managing advanced solid tumors.

🔬 Mechanism of Action

Pazopanib inhibits several receptor tyrosine kinases, including:

  • VEGFR (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptors)
  • PDGFR (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptors)
  • c-KIT

By targeting these pathways, Pazopanib reduces angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels) and limits tumor growth and spread.

Pazinib 200 mg is indicated for:

  • Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC)
  • Advanced Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS) after prior chemotherapy
