What does it do?

Zanubrutinib is an anticancer component belonging to the class of Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It is primarily used for the treatment of certain blood cancers, such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It is included in medications for the purpose of inhibiting the growth and survival of cancer cells.

Zanubrutinib selectively blocks the enzyme called Bruton tyrosine kinase within cancer cells. When this enzyme is activated, cancer cells proliferate and survive; by inhibiting this, it prevents the growth of cancer cells. As a result, cancer cells die or their proliferation slows down.
