Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=24782550; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=21204634; http://us.boehringer-ingelheim.com/news_events/press_releases/press_release_archive/2016/6-6-2016-boehringer-ingelheim-inventiva-collaborate-develop-potential-new-treatments-idiopathic-pulmonary-fibrosis.html

Nintedanib is a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor with potential antiangiogenic and antineoplastic activities. It is the only kinase inhibitor drug approved to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. that targets multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and non-receptor tyrosine kinases (nRTKs). Nintedanib inhibits the following RTKs: platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) α and β, fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 1-3, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) 1-3, and Fms-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3). Among them, FGFR, PDGFR, and VEGFR have been implicated in IPF pathogenesis. Nintedanib binds competitively to the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding pocket of these receptors and blocks the intracellular signaling which is crucial for the proliferation, migration, and transformation of fibroblasts representing essential mechanisms of the IPF pathology.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Nintedanib (molecular weight 539 Da) does not cross the blood–brain barrier in normal rat brain (investigator’s brochure U03-1563), as is generally expected for molecules [300 Da].

150 mg twice daily approximately 12 hours apart taken with food. Recommended dosage in patients with mild hepatic impairment: 100 mg twice daily approximately 12 hours apart taken with food. Consider temporary dose reduction to 100 mg, treatment interruption, or discontinuation for management of adverse reactions. Prior to treatment, conduct liver function tests and a pregnancy test
