Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Donafenib (CM-4307) is a deuterated derivative of the approved multikinase inhibitor sorafenib. Like sorafenib, it is orally active. Deuteration improves the stability of drug molecules thus extending half-life and increasing systemic exposure. This means that the effective drug dose may be shifted downward, with an associated improvement in tolerability. The medical formulation is donafenib tosylate.
