Abstract | ||
Inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor -2 (VEGFR-2) are crucial biological targets for the development of novel anticancer medications. Quinazoline also plays an important role as one of the building elements of numerous anticancer drugs. Thus, a review of the literature on VEGFR-2 inhibitors and Quinazoline-based anticancer medicines has been completed. We introduced VEGFR-2 inhibitors now undergoing clinical evaluation, such as Gefitinib, Erlotinib, Vandetanib, Afatinib, Lenvatinib, Cabozantinib, Sorafenib and Regorafenib in our survey. Additionally, VEGFR-2 inhibitors that are under development were introduced. | ||
