NCIt definition : An orally bioavailable benzimidazole targeting the platelet-derived growth factor
receptor (PDGFR) subtypes alpha and beta and FMS-related tyrosine kinase 3 (Flt3),
with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, crenolanib binds
to and inhibits both wild-type and mutated forms of PDGFR and Flt3, which may result
in the inhibition of PDGFR- and Flt3-related signal transduction pathways. This results
in inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and tumor cell proliferation in PDGFR and/or Flt3
overexpressing tumor cells. PDGFR and Flt3, class III receptor tyrosine kinases, are
upregulated or mutated in many tumor cell types.;
