Description
Regorafenib is an orally bioavailable multikinase inhibitor. This compound is clinically used in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer and non-responsive gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Regorafenib displays anticancer chemotherapeutic and anti-angiogenic properties, selective primarily for VEGFR2 but also displaying inhibitory activity against TIE2, VEGFR1/3, PDGFR-β, FGFR1, c-Kit, RET, and B-Raf.
