These mediators also block tyrosine kinase 3 linked with Fms (FLT3), a tyrosine kinase receptor created by certain leukaemia cells, from being phosphorylated.

Benefits of Sunitinib Malate (Sutekast)

In Kidney Cancer
Sunitinib Malate (Sutekast) is a cancer-fighting medicine. Sunitinib capsule acts by attaching and inhibiting a specific cell surface protein (tyrosine kinase) that promotes tumor growth. It also prevents the tumor from forming new blood vessels. That’s how it prevents dangerous tumors from growing.
In Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumours
GISTs (gastrointestinal stromal tumours) are tumours of the gut. The unique cells in the gut wall begin to proliferate uncontrollably. Malignant tumours (tumours that spread to other parts of the body) and benign tumours (tumours that do not spread to other parts of the body) are both possible (don’t spread to other parts of the body). Sunitinib capsule is an anti-cancer medication. Sunitinib capsule inhibits tumour growth by binding to and blocking a specific cell surface protein (tyrosine kinase). It also inhibits the tumor’s ability to produce new blood vessels. This is how deadly cancers are prevented from forming.
