Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are drugs that inhibit enzymes called tyrosine kinase that are critical in the proliferation pathway of cells. Tyrosine kinases are found in certain receptors or inside the cells. Inhibition of tyrosine kinase stops cell growth and multiplication, making them targets in the treatment of cancers.
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are used to treat cancers that rely on growth factors or particular receptors that have tyrosine kinase domains for activation.
