Mechanism of action of sorafenib

Mechanism of action of sorafenib. Sorafenib exerts a dual anticancer effect on the tumor and tumor vasculature by inhibiting Raf kinases including Raf-1 as well as the receptor tyrosine kinases vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), VEGFR3, platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), etc. Reproduced with permission from .
