NCIt definition : The orally active ethanolamine salt of eltrombopag, a small-molecule, nonpeptide thrombopoietin
receptor agonist with megakaryopoiesis-stimulating activity. Eltrombopag binds to
and stimulates the transmembrane domain of the platelet thrombopoietin receptor (TPO-R
or CD110), a member of the hematopoietin receptor superfamily. Activation of TPO-R
leads to the proliferation and differentiation of cells in the megakaryocytic lineage
and an increase in platelet production.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A drug used to treat chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (a condition
in which platelets are destroyed by the immune system). It causes more platelets to
be made in the bone marrow. It is also being studied in the treatment of low platelet
counts caused by chemotherapy. It is a type of thrombopoietin receptor agonist.;
