Inhibitors of VEGF-R and PDGF-R?
Pazopanib
Sorafenib
Sunitinib
FGF inhibitor?
Thalidomide/Lenolinomide

Blocks c-KIT?
Pazopanib
Sunitinib
What is c-KIT?
oncogenic tyrosine kinase
Two reasons to think about drug-drug interactions with STI’s (pazopanib, sorafinib, sunitinib)?
highly plasma protein bound
CYP3A4 metabolism
Specific toxicity for Pazopanib:
severe hepatotoxicity
QT prolongation–torsades de points
GI perforation
Hypertension
Specific Toxicity for Sorafenib?
hemorrhage
HTN
Specific toxicity for sunitinib?

How do mTor inhibitors reduce cell growth and proliferation?
Everolimus, Temsirolimus
- mTor regulates synthesis of cyclin D1 which controls progression through G1/S phase checkpoint
- mTor increases expression of amino acid and glucose transporters involved in glycolysis to produce ATP
