Description: |
Fruquintinib demonstrates potent inhibition on VEGF-A dependent KDR phosphorylation in HEK293-KDR cells and VEGF-A induced proliferation in primary HUVECs with IC50s of 0.6±0.2 nM and 1.7 nM, respectively. Similarly, potent VEGFR3 attenuation by fruquintinib is observed in primary HLECs, with IC50s of 1.5 nM and 4.2 nM for VEGF-C stimulated VEGFR3 phosphorylation and proliferation, respectively. Fruquintinib suppresses the tube branching, tube length and area in a concentration-dependent manner. The tubule length of primary HUVECs decreased by 74% and 94% at 0.03 and 0.3 μM of fruquintinib, respectively. Fruquintinib inhibits HUVEC tubule growth and CAM angiogenesis. Tube formation is suppressed significantly after treatment with fruquintinib at 0.3 μM for 18 hours[1]. |
In Vivo: |
Gastric cancer BGC-823 model is found to be most sensitive to fruquintinib. In this model, fruquintinib inhibits tumor growth by 62.3% and 95.4~98.6%, at 0.5 and 2 mg/kg once daily dosing, respectively. When the dose is elevated to 5 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg, the tumors regress by 24.1% and 48.6%, respectively. The level of anti-tumor growth activity of fruquintinib varies in different tumor xenograft models. Fruquintinib significantly decreases the micro-vessel density even at the lowest dose of 0.8 mg/kg[1]. |
