product name Sorafenib Tosylate
Description: Sorafenib Tosylate,also known as BAY 43-9006, is a multikinase inhibitor of Raf-1, B-Raf and VEGFR-2 with IC50 of 6 nM, 22 nM and 90 nM in enzymatic assays, respectively. Sorafenib blocks the enzyme RAF kinase, a critical component of the RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway that controls cell division and proliferation; in addition, sorafenib inhibits the VEGFR-2/PDGFR-beta signaling cascade, thereby blocking tumor angiogenesis. Sorafenib was approved in 2005 for the treatment of advanced renal cancer.
