Solriamfetol Action Pathway

Homo sapiens
Solriamfetol, also known as Sunosi, is a dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (DNRI). This drug is indicated for the daytime treatment of sleepiness associated with narcolepsy or obstructive sleep apnea. Solriamfetol was given FDA approval in 2019. Solriamfetol weakly binds to dopamine and norepinephrine transporters but not serotonin transporters. Those transporters are called sodium-dependent dopamine transporter and sodium-dependent noradrenaline transporter. This makes more dopamine and noradrenaline available in the synapses of the brain. In consequence, the postsynaptic has more of those neurotransmitters available. Norepinephrine and dopamine are important neurotransmitters in sleep-wake regulation. This drug is available as oral tablets.

Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) Pathway

Homo sapiens
Sonic hedgehog is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SHH ("sonic hedgehog") gene.[5] Both the gene and the protein may also be found notated alternatively as "Shh". Sonic hedgehog is one of three proteins in the mammalian signaling pathway family called hedgehog, the others being desert hedgehog (DHH) and Indian hedgehog (IHH). SHH is the best studied ligand of the hedgehog signaling pathway. It plays a key role in regulating vertebrate organogenesis, such as in the growth of digits on limbs and organization of the brain. Sonic hedgehog is the best established example of a morphogen as defined by Lewis Wolpert's French flag model—a molecule that diffuses to form a concentration gradient and has different effects on the cells of the developing embryo depending on its concentration. SHH remains important in the adult. It controls cell division of adult stem cells and has been implicated in the development of some cancers.

Sonidegib Drug Metabolism

Homo sapiens
Sonidegib is a drug that is not metabolized by the human body as determined by current research and biotransformer analysis. Sonidegib passes through the liver and is then excreted from the body mainly through the kidney.

Sorafenib Action Pathway

Homo sapiens
Sorafenib, marketed as Nexavar, is a drug for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (primary kidney cancer). It is an inhibitor of the RAF kinase protein and cell surface kinases PDGF-beta receptor, VEGF 2 and 3 receptor (many sources also say VEGFR 1), c-KIT receptor, and FLT-3 receptor. Overall, sorafenib targets the Raf/Mek/Erk pathway. The kinases that are targeting are involved in angiogenesis which reduces blood flow to the tumor and also for genetic transcription for cell proliferation and replication. Sorafenib's mechanism of action works by inhibiting the cell surface kinases, which blocks their signalling to RAF and AKT pathways which are responsible for cell proliferation. C-KIT and FLT-3 on tumor cells are inhibited causing their proliferation to stop and the PDGF and VEGF receptors on endothelial cells are inhibited to stop the growth of new blood vessels that bring blood flow to the tumor. Sorafenib also inhibits RAF1 which is a protein that regulates apoptosis of the cell. With RAF1 blocked, apoptosis is not regulated and can occur. Sorafenib is taken orally in a tablet for and enters the bloodstream through the GI tract to be delivered to the site of action.
