Targeting Regorafenib-Induced Toxicity through Inhibition of Gut Microbial β-Glucuronidases
30 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Regorafenib (Stivarga) is an oral small molecule kinase inhibitor used to treat metastatic colorectal cancer, hepatocellular carcinomas, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Diarrhea is one of the most frequently observed adverse reactions associated with regorafenib. This toxicity may arise from the reactivation of the inactive regorafenib-glucuronide to regorafenib by gut microbial β-glucuronidase (GUS) enzymes...
