NCIt synonyms : Pan FGFR Inhibitor LY2874455; Pan Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitor LY2874455;
NCIt related terms : LY-2874455;
NCIt definition : An orally bioavailable pan-inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) family
proteins, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, FGFR inhibitor
LY2874455 binds to and inhibits FGFR subtypes 1 (FGFR1), 2 (FGFR2), 3 (FGFR3) and
4 (FGFR4), which results in the inhibition of FGFR-mediated signal transduction pathways.
This inhibits both tumor angiogenesis and proliferation of FGFR-overexpressing tumor
cells. FGFR, a family of receptor tyrosine kinases upregulated in many tumor cell
types, plays a key role in cellular proliferation, cell survival and angiogenesis.;
