How Votrient Works
Votrient (pazopanib) is a multi-targeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). It works by:
-
Inhibiting VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3 → Blocks new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) that feeds tumor growth
-
Blocking PDGFR-α and PDGFR-β → Slows cancer cell growth and division
-
Targeting FGFR and c-Kit → Reduces tumor cell proliferation
This combined mechanism helps slow the spread and progression of cancerous tumors.
