Description: Cabozantinib, also known as XL-184 or BMS-907351, is an orally bioavailable, small molecule receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. Cabozantinib strongly binds to and inhibits several tyrosine receptor kinases. Specifically, cabozantinib appears to have a strong affinity for the hepatocyte growth factor receptor (Met) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), which may result in inhibition of tumor growth and angiogenesis, and tumor regression. Cabozantinib was approved by the U.S. FDA in November 2012 for the treatment of medullary thyroid cancer.
