Tivozanib (AV-951)

Cell lines

Human ovarian carcinoma cell lines, including A2780CP, OVCAR3 and SKOV3.

Preparation method

Soluble in DMSO >22.8mg/mL. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37℃ for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below -20℃ for several months.

Reacting condition

10μm, 48h

Applications

Combination of tivozanib with the EGFR(Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor)-directed therapies displayed synergistic activity on cell growth inhibition and induction of apoptosis, suggesting that anti-VEGFR(vascular endothelial growth factor receptor) -targeted approaches induced sensitisation to the EGFR-directed therapies.

Diseases models

Patients with renal cell carcinoma(RCC)

Dosage form

1.5 mg OD for 3 weeks, oral administration

Application

Tivozanib exhibit an inhibitory profile with high sensitivity for inhibition of VEGFR family members. Patients receiving tivozanib had a PFS(Progression free survival) of 12.7 months – the best PFS reported in a phase III trial with mRCC.

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.
