Nexavar(sorafenib)
Nexavar, Sorafenib (sorafenib) is a small molecule pharmaceutical. Sorafenib was first approved as Nexavar on 2005-12-20. It is used to treat hepatocellular carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, and thyroid neoplasms in the USA. It has been approved in Europe to treat hepatocellular carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma. The pharmaceutical is active against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2, mast/stem cell growth factor receptor Kit, and receptor-type tyrosine-protein kinase FLT3. In addition, it is known to target proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase receptor Ret, platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3, serine/threonine-protein kinase B-raf, RAF proto-oncogene serine/threonine-protein kinase, fibroblast growth factor receptor 1, cyclin-dependent kinase 8, cyclin-dependent kinase 19, and discoidin domain-containing receptor 2.

Drug
General
Drug common nameSorafenib
INNsorafenib
Description
Sorafenib is a member of the class of phenylureas that is urea in which one of the nitrogens is substituted by a 4-chloro-3-trifluorophenyl group while the other is substituted by a phenyl group which, in turn, is substituted at the para position by a [2-(methylcarbamoyl)pyridin-4-yl]oxy group. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, an EC 2.7.11.1 (non-specific serine/threonine protein kinase) inhibitor, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, an angiogenesis inhibitor, an anticoronaviral agent and a ferroptosis inducer. It is a pyridinecarboxamide, a member of monochlorobenzenes, an aromatic ether, a member of (trifluoromethyl)benzenes and a member of phenylureas.
