fostamatinib is an approved drug (FDA (2018), EMA (2020))
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Fostamatinib is a spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) inhibitor prodrug. Fostamatinib is administered orally in disodium salt preparations (e.g. PubChem CID 25008120 and fostamatinib disodium hexahydrate CID 24828759). It is rapidly converted to tamatinib by alkaline phosphatases in intestinal enterocytes [6]. Although development in rheumatoid arthritis was discontinued in 2013 due to a lack of observed efficacy, development continued in patients with chronic and persistent immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).
