Also known as SU 5416, SU5416, VEGF receptor 2 kinase inhibitor III, 3-[(2,4-dimethylpyrrol-5-yl)methylidenyl]-2-indolinone, (Z)-SU 5416, 3-(1-(3,5-Dimethyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)meth-(Z)-ylidene)-2-oxo-2,3-dihydroindole, 3-((Z)-(3,5-Dimethylpyrrol-2-yl)methylene)-2-indolinone, TSU 16

Semaxanib (INN, codenamed SU5416) is a tyrosine-kinase inhibitor drug designed by SUGEN as a cancer therapeutic. It is an experimental stage drug, not licensed for use on human patients outside clinical trials. Semaxanib is a potent and selective synthetic inhibitor of the Flk-1/KDR vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor tyrosine kinase. It targets the VEGF pathway, and both in vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated antiangiogenic potential.
