Kylonib 150mg Capsule

About

Kylonib represents a class of targeted therapies known as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), designed to block the activity of specific enzymes crucial for cancer cell growth and proliferation. These inhibitors work by binding to the ATP-binding site of the tyrosine kinase domain, thereby preventing the phosphorylation of downstream signaling proteins. This interruption of signaling pathways, such as those involving BCR-ABL, KIT, or PDGFRA, leads to the inhibition of cell growth, induction of apoptosis, and suppression of tumor angiogenesis. TKIs are particularly effective in cancers driven by specific genetic mutations or chromosomal translocations, offering a more precise and often less toxic approach compared to traditional chemotherapy.
