Axitinib

Identification

Summary

Axitinib is an oral VEGFR and kinase inhibitor used for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma after failure of one prior systemic therapy.

Brand Names
Inlyta
Generic Name
Axitinib
DrugBank Accession Number
DB06626
Background

Axitinib is a second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor that works by selectively inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3).7 Through this mechanism of action, axitinib blocks angiogenesis, tumour growth and metastases. It is reported to exhibit potency that is 50-450 times higher than that of the first generation VEGFR inhibitors.7 Axitinib is an indazole derivative.6 It is most commonly marketed under the name Inlyta® and is available in oral formulations.

Pharmacodynamics

Axitinib prevents the progression of cancer by inhibiting angiogenesis and blocking tumor growth.

Mechanism of action

Axitinib selectively blocks the tyrosine kinase receptors VEGFR-1 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor), VEGFR-2, and VEGFR-3.

Absorption

After one 5 mg dose of axitinib, it takes about 2.5 to 4.1 hours to reach maximum plasma concentration.

Volume of distribution

The volume of distribution is 160 L.

Protein binding

Plasma protein binding for axitinib is high at over 99% with most protein binding to albumin followed by α1-acid glycoprotein.

Metabolism

Axitinib undergoes mainly hepatic metabolism. CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 are the main hepatic enzymes while CYP1A2, CYP2C19, and UGT1A1 enzymes are secondary.

Route of elimination

Axitinib is mainly eliminated unchanged in the feces (41%) with 12% of the original dose as unchanged axitinib. There is also 23% eliminated in the urine, most of which are metabolites.

Half-life

Axitinib has a half life of 2.5 to 6.1 hours.

Clearance

The average clearance of axitinib is 38 L/h.

Interactions

Drug Interactions
This information should not be interpreted without the help of a healthcare provider. If you believe you are experiencing an interaction, contact a healthcare provider immediately. The absence of an interaction does not necessarily mean no interactions exist.
DrugInteraction
AbametapirThe serum concentration of Axitinib can be increased when it is combined with Abametapir.
AbataceptThe metabolism of Axitinib can be increased when combined with Abatacept.
AbirateroneThe serum concentration of Axitinib can be increased when it is combined with Abiraterone.
AbrocitinibThe serum concentration of Axitinib can be increased when it is combined with Abrocitinib.
AcalabrutinibThe metabolism of Axitinib can be decreased when combined with Acalabrutinib.
Food Interactions
  • Avoid grapefruit products. Grapefruit inhibits CYP3A4 metabolism, which may increase the serum concentration of axitinib.
  • Avoid St. John's Wort. This herb induces CYP3A4 metabolism, which may reduce the serum concentration of axitinib.
  • Take with a full glass of water.
  • Take with or without food.
