Nindanib 150mg Soft Gelatin Capsule contains Nintedanib. a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used in the management of fibrotic lung diseases and certain types of cancers.

Brand Name: Nindanib

Composition: Nintedanib

Mechanism of Action:

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptors are the specific targets of nintedanib's inhibition of tyrosine kinase receptors. Signaling mechanisms that lead to aberrant blood vessel development and cell proliferation are disrupted by this activity. Nintedanib efficiently blocks fibrosis pathways by decreasing fibroblast activation and proliferation, which slows lung scarring in diseases such idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Inhibiting receptor tyrosine kinases also contributes to its anticancer effects by reducing lung cancer cell proliferation and tumor vascularization, or blood supply.
