What does it do?

Prucalopride is an anticancer agent that selectively inhibits the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR). It is primarily used to slow down the progression of cancer by blocking angiogenesis necessary for the growth of cancer cells.

Prucalopride binds to the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor and blocks its signaling. This prevents the formation of new blood vessels in tumor tissues, reducing the nutrient supply to cancer cells and inhibiting their growth.

Good to know
