How VOTRIENT Works

Pazopanib is a multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets several receptors, including vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR), platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFR), and fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR). By blocking these receptors, the drug inhibits ligand-induced autophosphorylation and prevents signaling pathways that lead to angiogenesis. This mechanism interferes with the blood supply to tumors and suppresses tumor growth.
