Tyrosine kinase inhibitors vandetanib, lenvatinib and cabozantinib modulate oxidation of an anticancer agent ellipticine catalyzed by cytochromes P450 in vitro.

OBJECTIVES: Vandetanib¸ lenvatinib, and cabozantinib are tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting VEGFR subtypes 1 and 2, EGFR and the RET-tyrosine kinase, thus considered as multiple TKIs. These TKIs have already been approved for treating patients suffering from thyroid cancer and renal cell carcinoma. Ellipticine, a DNA-damaging .....
