'''AZD2171''' (tentative trade name '''Recentin''') is a potent [[kinase inhibitor|inhibitor]] of [[vascular endothelial growth factor]] (VEGF) receptor [[tyrosine kinase]]s. It is being developed by [[AstraZeneca]] as a possible chemotherapeutic agent for oral administration.

[[As of 2007]], it is undergoing [[Clinical trial#Phase I|Phase I]] [[clinical trial]]s for the treatment of [[Lung cancer#Non-small cell lung cancer|non-small cell]] [[lung cancer]] and [[colorectal cancer]] in adults, as well as tumors of the [[central nervous system]] in children.
