Pazopanib (GW-786034) (Synonyms: GSK-VEG10003, GW786034B)

Cell lines

Primary human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC)

Preparation method

The solubility of this compound in DMSO is >10 mM. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 °C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while.Stock solution can be stored below -20°C for several months.

Reaction Conditions

IC50: 2 μM, 48 hours

Applications

The IC50 for pazopanib for anchorage-dependent growth was 2 μM and 1 μM after 48 h and 72 h, respectively. Pazopanib abrogated the phosphorylation of VEGFR2 with disruption of downstream PLCγ1. It also disrupted the Ras-Raf-ERK pathway through decreased phosphorylated MEK1/2 and ERK1/2 and affected the phosphorylation of 70S6K. Our findings confirmed that pazopanib targeted endothelial cells, affecting cell growth, VEGFR-induced signaling, and tube formation.

Animal models

Immune-deficient beige-nude-xid (BNX) mice injected with MM.1S cells

Dosage form

Oral administration, 30 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg, daily for five weeks

Applications

Tumor growth in treated mice was significantly delayed (30 mg/kg) or almost totally inhibited (100 mg/kg) compared with the control group. However, tumors rapidly regrew after cessation of treatment at day 30. Using Kaplan–Meier and log-rank analysis, the mean overall survival (OS) was 20 days in the control cohort versus 41 days and 51 days in groups treated with 30 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg pazopanib, respectively. Statistically significant prolongation in mean OS compared with control mice was observed in animals treated with 30 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg. Importantly, treatment with either the vehicle alone or pazopanib did not affect body weight.

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.
