Enatinib Capsule 10 mg contains Lenvatinib Mesylate, an oral targeted anticancer medication used for the treatment of several types of cancers. It belongs to a class of drugs known as multikinase inhibitors or tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). This medicine works by blocking specific proteins that promote tumor growth and blood vessel formation, thereby slowing or stopping the progression of cancer.

Enatinib is commonly prescribed for patients with differentiated thyroid cancer that is resistant to radioactive iodine therapy. It is also used in the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer), hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer), and endometrial cancer in combination with other anticancer medicines. By targeting cancer cell signaling pathways and tumor angiogenesis, Enatinib helps control tumor growth and spread.

Lenvatinib works by inhibiting multiple receptor tyrosine kinases involved in tumor proliferation and angiogenesis, including vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR), fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR), platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), RET, and KIT signaling pathways. By blocking these pathways, the medication reduces the blood supply to tumors and interferes with the signals that allow cancer cells to multiply.
