Apatinib Mesylate is a potent, orally bioavailable, ATP-competitive VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor with a cell-free IC₅₀ of 1nM[1]. Apatinib Mesylate suppresses VEGFR-2 phosphorylation and downstream PLCγ1/ERK1/2, PI3K/AKT, and STAT3 signaling, thereby limiting cell proliferation, survival, migration, and angiogenesis[1][2][4]. Apatinib Mesylate is used in research on tumor angiogenesis, solid-tumor growth and migration, leukemia biology, autophagy, and ABC-transporter-mediated multidrug resistance[2][3][4][5][6][7].
In vitro, Apatinib Mesylate inhibited VEGF-stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cell proliferation over 72h with an IC₅₀ of 0.17μM, whereas the IC₅₀ against 20% fetal bovine serum-stimulated proliferation was 23.4μM[1]. In SGC-7901 and BGC-823 human gastric cancer cells, Apatinib Mesylate (100, 500, and 1000nM; 24h) reduced proliferation and VEGF secretion; Apatinib Mesylate (500nM overnight; VEGF stimulation for 30min) reduced phosphorylation of VEGFR-2, PLCγ1, and ERK1/2, while MGC-803 cells with low pathway activity showed no significant proliferation response[2]. In KHOS and MG63 human osteosarcoma cells, Apatinib Mesylate (10μM; 48h) increased apoptosis and autophagic markers, induced G0/G1 arrest, and reduced STAT3 and BCL-2 signaling[3]. In Jurkat and Nalm6 human acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells, Apatinib Mesylate (0, 10, 20, and 40μM; 48h) dose-dependently reduced VEGFR-2, ERK, AKT, and STAT3 pathway activation[4]. In human malignant peritoneal mesothelioma cells, Apatinib Mesylate (0, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100μM; 24, 48, and 72h) inhibited proliferation in concentration- and time-dependent manners, with IC₅₀ values of 46.34μM, 45.14μM, and 28.73μM at 24, 48, and 72h, respectively[5].
In vivo, female nude mice bearing CNE-2 human nasopharyngeal carcinoma xenografts received Apatinib Mesylate (200mg/kg/day; intragastric gavage once daily for 7 days), which reduced the VEGFR-2-positive tumor-cell proportion from 92.83% to 54.50%, decreased CD31-defined microvessel density from 8.67 to 5.00, and inhibited tumor growth[6]. NODscid-IL2Rg⁻/⁻ mice bearing Nalm6 human acute lymphoblastic leukemia xenografts received Apatinib Mesylate (100mg/kg/day; oral gavage once daily from Monday to Friday for 2 weeks), which reduced human CD45-positive leukemia cells in peripheral blood, bone marrow, and spleen and decreased spleen weight[4]. In ABCB1-overexpressing KBv200 human cancer nude mouse xenograft model, Apatinib Mesylate (70mg/kg; oral administration every 3 days for four doses; 1h before paclitaxel) enhanced the antitumor activity of paclitaxel and produced 52.7% tumor-growth inhibition without apparent body-weight loss[7].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
SGC-7901, BGC-823, and MGC-803 human gastric cancer cells |
|
Preparation Method |
Cells were seeded in 96-well plates at 2×10³ cells/well and treated with Apatinib Mesylate. Cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay, and VEGF in culture medium was measured by ELISA. For pathway analysis, SGC-7901 and BGC-823 cells were treated with Apatinib Mesylate overnight and then stimulated with recombinant human VEGF before p-VEGFR-2, p-PLCγ1, and p-ERK1/2 were examined by western blotting. |
|
Reaction Conditions |
100, 500, and 1000nM for 24h; 500nM overnight followed by VEGF stimulation for 30min |
|
Applications |
Apatinib Mesylate significantly inhibited proliferation and VEGF secretion in SGC-7901 and BGC-823 cells with high VEGFR-2 pathway activity, but not in MGC-803 cells with low pathway activity. Apatinib Mesylate at 500nM reduced VEGF-induced phosphorylation of VEGFR-2, PLCγ1, and ERK1/2 to below baseline levels. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
Subcutaneous CNE-2 human nasopharyngeal carcinoma xenografts in 4-week-old female nude mice |
|
Preparation Method |
When mean tumor volume reached 100mm³, mice were randomized. The Apatinib Mesylate group received daily intragastric gavage, and the vehicle group received saline by the same route. Tumor volume and body weight were recorded every 2 days. At the end of treatment, tumors were weighed and analyzed by VEGFR-2 and CD31 immunohistochemistry, TUNEL, and ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT. |
|
Dosage form |
200mg/kg/day; intragastric gavage once daily for 7 days |
|
Applications |
Apatinib Mesylate reduced the proportion of VEGFR-2-positive tumor cells from 92.83% to 54.50% and decreased CD31-defined microvessel density from 8.67 to 5.00. Tumor metabolic activity and CNE-2 xenograft growth were also reduced. |

Targeting SMYD2 synergistically increases the antiangiogenic activity of apatinib in CRC.IHC staining revealed that both BAY-598 and apatinib treatment reduced CD31 levels, but more satisfactory effects were achieved when the two treatments were combined.
Then, we treated CRC cells with DMSO, BAY-598, apatinib (10 μM), or BAY-598 (10 μM) combined with apatinib(GLPBIO) for 48 h, and prepared TCM according to the standard method.
