NCIt definition : An indolinone-based small molecule selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor with potential
antineoplastic activity. SU5402 blocks the activities of vascular endothelial growth
factor receptors (VEGFR) and fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGFR1) via competing with
ATP for the specific binding site within the catalytic domain of these receptors.
This agent was shown to inhibit cell growth, decrease cell viability in dose-dependent
manner, and induce apoptosis.;
