What are Some Examples of Catalytic Inhibitors in Cancer Therapy?
Several catalytic inhibitors have been developed and are in use or in clinical trials for cancer therapy. Some notable examples include:
Imatinib (Gleevec) - A tyrosine kinase inhibitor used in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Erlotinib (Tarceva) - An epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor used for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and pancreatic cancer. Sorafenib (Nexavar) - A multi-kinase inhibitor used for liver, kidney, and thyroid cancers.
