Azacitidine | Vidaza | azacytidine|CC-486|5-azacytidine|5-AC|U-18496|Onureg | DNMT inhibitor (Pan) 5 | Vidaza (azacitidine) is a cytidine analog that incorporates into DNA and RNA and binds to DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), resulting in DNMT degradation and decreased DNA methylation, and leading to increased tumor cell death (PMID: 28159832, PMID: 28067760). Vidaza (azacitidine) is FDA-approved for use in patients with some subtypes of myelodysplastic syndrome and Onureg (azacitidine) is FDA approved for use in continued treatment of acute myeloid leukemia(FDA.gov). |
Sorafenib | Nexavar | BAY 43-9006 | CSF1R Inhibitor 28 FLT3 Inhibitor 69 KIT Inhibitor 57 PDGFR-beta Inhibitor 14 RAF Inhibitor (Pan) 28 RET Inhibitor 53 VEGFR2 Inhibitor 37 | Nexavar (sorafenib) is a multikinase inhibitor with activity against several kinases, including RAF kinases, VEGFR2, VEGFR3, PDGFR-beta, KIT, FLT3, RET, and CSF1R, potentially resulting in decreased tumor growth (PMID: 18445656, PMID: 15466206, PMID: 21517818). Nexavar (sorafenib) is FDA approved for metastatic differentiated thyroid carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and renal cell carcinoma (FDA.gov). |
