III. Pharmacological Properties
Mechanism of Action: Crizotinib is an orally administered small molecule drug that effectively inhibits the activity of tyrosine kinases such as ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase), c-MET, and ROS1. It selectively binds to the ATP-binding site of these tyrosine kinases, blocking their phosphorylation and downstream signaling pathways, thereby inhibiting the growth and invasion of tumor cells.
Indications: Primarily used for the treatment of ALK-positive locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Additionally, it is indicated for patients with metastatic NSCLC harboring ROS1 mutations.
