Telatinib has low affinity for the Raf kinase pathway, epidermal growth factor receptor family, the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) family, or the Tie-2 receptor. Telatinib is metabolized by various cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms including CYP3A4/3A5, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 as well as by uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A4 (UGT1A4), with the formation of the N-glucuronides of telatinib as the major biotransformation pathway in man. In vitro studies show telatinib to be a weak substrate of the adenosine triphosphate binding cassette (ABC) B1 (ABCB1) transporter. Telatinib at 1 μM significantly enhances the intracellular accumulation of [H]-mitoxantrone (MX) in ABCG2-overexpressing cell lines. In addition, telatinib at 1 μM significantly reduces the rate of [H]-MX efflux from ABCG2-overexpressing cells. Furthermore, telatinib significantly inhibits ABCG2-mediated transport of [H]-E217βG in ABCG2 overexpressing membrane vesicles.
