NCIt definition : An orally-active, tyrosine kinase receptor inhibitor with potential antitumor activity.
SU014813 binds to and inhibits the phosphorylation of vascular endothelial growth
factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) alpha
and beta, c-Kit and Fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 (Flt-3). This leads to an inhibition
of cellular proliferation and angiogenesis and an induction of apoptosis.;
