Tyroserleutide (YSL) is a tripeptide treatment being developed by Shenzhen Kangzhe Pharmaceutical Co Ltd, a subsidary of China Medical System Holdings (CMS), for the treatment of liver cancer. It is initially separated and purified from the hydrolyzates of pig’s spleen, but now can be obtained by chemical synthesis, its chemical name is L-tyrosine-L-serine-L-leucine. Tyroserleutide is an active, low-molecular-weight polypeptide, comprised of three amino acids, that has shown antitumor effects on human hepatocarcinoma BEL-7402 in vitro and in vivo. Tyroserleutide has various advantages over the other bioactive peptides such as its low molecular weight, simple construction, nonimmunogenicity, specificity, few side effects, and ease of synthesis. Tyroserleutide is in Phase-III clinical trials for the treatment of liver cancer.

PF-04217903 is a triazolopyrazine inhibitor of c-MET that displays anticancer chemotherapeutic and anti-metastatic activities. PF-04217903 inhibits cell proliferation, invasion, and migration as well as tumor growth in various cancer models. In animal models of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, this compound prevents lymph node metastasis. PF-04217903 had been in phase I clinical trials by Pfizer for the treatment of solid tumors. In 2011, the company discontinued the development of the compound.

Tyrosine ethyl ester hydrochloride is used as a medical and organic intermediate and as an important amino protective agent. It is also used to introduce t-Boc protect gene. Tyrosine ethyl ester hydrochloride is used as a supplement (tyrosine).

Diotyrosine I 131 is the diagnostic aid manufactured by Abbott.

Racemetirosine is an orally active inhibitor of the enzyme tyrosine 3-monooxygenase, and consequently of the synthesis of catecholamine. At dosages of 600 to 3500mg daily, it is effective in controlling the hypertensive episodes and symptoms of catecholamine excess in phaeochromocytoma during preparation for surgery. Oral Racemetirosine is well absorbed and absorption appears constant in each individual over a wide dosage range. The drug is largely excreted via the kidneys, but extrarenal elimination has not been studied. Case reports on the clinical use of Racemetirosine in phaeochromocytoma indicate that the drug controls hypertension and symptoms of catecholamine excess in most patients during preparation for surgical removal of a tumor. In some cases, the addition of Racemetirosine to phenoxybenzamine plus propranolol has resulted in adequate control of symptoms previously unresponsive to the adrenergic blocking regimen. Drowsiness and sedation have been the most frequently reported side effects of Racemetirosine treatment.

Ioxabrolic Acid is triiodobenzoic acid derivative and iodine-containing radiopharmaceutical

Thyroxine I-131 is a radiolabeled thyroid hormone that has been studied as a diagnostic agent for thyroid cancer. In pharmacokinetic studies, Thyroxine I-131 shows broad tissue distribution and 99% of the ingested radiolabeled Thyroxine may be found in the skin, intestines, muscles, blood, bones, liver, and thyroid glands of rats.

A radioconjugate of synthetic active thyroid hormone, liothyronine (T3), labeled with Iodine 131. Liothyronine involves many important metabolic functions and is essential to the proper development and differentiation of all cells. I131 liothyronine may be used in radiotherapy in thyroid cancers.
