The oxidation and hypoglycaemic effect of sorafenib in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

The findings of the study provide evidence that diabetes significantly influence on the exposition for sorafenib and its metabolite, but similar ratios N-oxide/sorafenib for AUC and Cmax in healthy and diabetic animals suggest that oxidation of the TKI is rather unchanged. Additionally, sorafenib-associated hypoglycaemia was confirmed in diabetic animals.
