Axitinib (AG 013736)
Axitinib is a selective and oral inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor tyrosine kinases 1, 2 and 3 with [1].
Axitinib inhibited the phosphorylation of VEGFR-1, 2 and 3 with IC50 values of 1.2 nM, 0.2 nM and 0.1 to 0.3 nM in cells, respectively. In HUVEC cells, Axitinib inhibited VEGFR-2 stimulated cell survival with about 1000-fold selectivity against FGFR-1. Axitinib also significantly suppressed the phosphorylation of VEGF downstream signaling molecules including Akt, eNOS and ERK1/2. Besides that, axitinib inhibited VEGFR-2 phosphorylation with EC50 value of 0.49 nM in vivo. It delayed tumore growth of human xenograft tumors in mice such as M24met, HCT-116 and SN12C [1].

Animal models |
Female nu/nu mice or severe combined immunodeficient beige mice(ages 7-10 weeks) |
Dosage form |
Axitinib was dosed as a suspension at 5 mL/kg orally twice daily |
Applications |
Axitinib dose-dependently inhibits tumor growth in MV522 with ED50 value of 8.8 mg/kg twice daily, based on the relationship between dose and the corresponding TGI (tumor growth inhibition). |
Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
