Description
Foretinib is an inhibitor of ROS1, MET, Ron, Axl, Tie-2, and VEGFR2 that exhibits anticancer chemotherapeutic and anti-angiogenic activities. In subjects with squamous cell carcinoma, foretinib decreases tumor size. In hepatocellular carcinoma cells, foretinib increases expression of p27 and Bim, decreases expression of cyclin B1 and p-c-Myc, and induces G2/M phase cell cycle arrest, inhibiting cell growth and migration as well as tumor growth and angiogenesis.
