Multikinase inhibitors and uses in prostatic hyperplasia and urinary track diseases

Abstract

A method for preventing, treating and/or improving a prostatic disease or disorder associated with epithelial hyperplasia and/or fibrosis, comprising: administering an effective amount of a multikinase inhibitor to a subject in need thereof, wherein the multikinase inhibitor has a certain spectrum of kinase inhibitory activity. The multikinase inhibitor is sunitinib, regorafenib, ponatinib, pazopanib, nintedanib and/or lenvatinib. The prostatic disease or disorder is selected from the group consisting of benign prostate hyperplasia and its associated lower urinary tract symptoms, fibrosis of ureters and renal pelvis, prostate adenoma, and prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia in animals and humans.
