BMS-794833 is a potent ATP competitive, dual inhibitor of c-Met and VEGFR2 (IC50 = 1.7 nM and 15 nM, respectively). It also has inhibitory effect on Ron, Axl and Flt3 (IC50 < 3 nM).

c-MET, also called MET, is a membrane receptor that is essential for embryonic development and wound healing. VEGFR are receptors for vascular endothelial growth factor and belong to receptor tyrosine kinases. It mediates in various cellular functions, including endothelial proliferation, migration, survival, tubular morphogenesis and sprouting. [1]

BMS794833 also inhibited gastric cancer cell line (GTL-16) that induced by c-Met receptor, GTL-16, IC50 = 39 Nm [1]. In human gastric tumor xenografts model, BM798433 exhibits > 50% TGI for at least one tumor doubling time without significant toxicity in 14 days. In U87 glioblastoma model, 25mg/kg of BMS798433 exert complete tumor stasis. [1]
