MET Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor SAR125844NCIt concept
Preferred Label : MET Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor SAR125844;
NCIt related terms : SAR-125844;
NCIt definition : An inhibitor of the proto-oncogene c-Met (also known as hepatocyte growth factor receptor
(HGFR)) with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon intravenous administration, c-Met
inhibitor SAR125844 binds to c-Met, thereby disrupting c-Met-mediated signal transduction
pathways. This may result in cell growth inhibition in tumors that overexpress c-Met.
c-Met, a receptor tyrosine kinase overexpressed or mutated in a variety of cancers,
plays an important role in tumor cell proliferation, survival, invasion, metastasis
and tumor angiogenesis.;
