What does it do?

Loratidine is an anticancer agent belonging to the class of tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It is primarily used to treat cancer patients with specific genetic mutations, such as non-small cell lung cancer. It is used to inhibit tumor growth by preventing the proliferation of cancer cells.

Loratidine works by blocking the activity of specific proteins within cancer cells, disrupting the processes of cell proliferation and metastasis. This helps slow down or halt the growth of cancer cells, particularly in those with ALK and ROS1 gene mutations.
