What does it do?

Cabozantinib (S)-malate is a targeted anticancer agent used in the treatment of various types of cancer. It works by blocking the activity of specific proteins, thereby inhibiting the proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells. It primarily exhibits anticancer effects in renal cancer, thyroid cancer, and more.

Cabozantinib (S)-malate blocks signaling pathways that promote angiogenesis around cancer cells. This reduces the nutrient supply to the tumor tissues, preventing tumor growth and spread. Additionally, it also suppresses the proliferation signals of the cancer cells themselves, exerting anticancer effects.

Good to know

Cabozantinib is a multi-kinase inhibitor that inhibits multiple target proteins simultaneously. As a result, it shows a broader suppressive effect on cancer cell growth compared to single-target therapies. The malate form helps enhance the stability and absorption of the drug.
