Active Ingredient Description
Fostamatinib

Fostamatinib mediates its activity effectively through its major metabolite, R406, which is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor with demonstrated activity against spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK). R406 inhibits signal transduction of B-cell receptors and Fc-activating receptors, which play a key role in antibody-mediated cellular responses. The fostamatinib metabolite R406 reduces antibody-mediated destruction of platelets.
