NCIt definition : The mesylate salt of rivoceranib, an orally bioavailable, small-molecule receptor
tyrosine kinase inhibitor with potential antiangiogenic and antineoplastic activities.
Rivoceranib selectively binds to and inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptor
2, which may inhibit VEGF-stimulated endothelial cell migration and proliferation
and decrease tumor microvessel density. In addition, this agent mildly inhibits c-Kit
and c-SRC tyrosine kinases.;
