Description

Axitinib (trade name Inlyta) is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor developed by Pfizer. It has been shown to significantly inhibit growth of breast cancer in animal (xenograft) models and has shown partial responses in clinical trials with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and several other tumour types. Axitinib has been shown to inhibit receptor tyrosine kinases including vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR)-1, VEGFR-2, and VEGFR-3 at therapeutic plasma concentrations. These receptors are implicated in pathologic angiogenesis, tumor growth, and cancer progression. VEGF-mediated endothelial cell proliferation and survival were inhibited by axitinib in vitro and in mouse models. It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

In Vitro Use Guide
Transfected or endogenous RTK-expressing cells were treated by axitinib with range of concentration from 0.01 nM to 10 uM. In transfected or endogenous RTK-expressing cells, axitinib potently blocked growth factor-stimulated phosphorylation of VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 with average IC50 values of 0.2 and 0.1 to 0.3 nmol/L, respectively. Cellular activity against VEGFR-1 was 1.2 nmol/L.
