Description
Cabozantinib malate is a potent inhibitor of MET andVEGF receptor2 with IC50 values of 1.3nM and 0.035nM.
Cabozantinib is a pan-tyrosine kinase inhibitor and is developed as an oral treatment of various cancers including MTC, GBM, NSCLC, pancreatic carcinoma, breast and colon cancer. The targets of cabozantinib are MET, VEGFR-2, RET, FLT3, KIT, AXL as well as TEK. In cellular assays, cabozantinib inhibits the phosphorylation of MET, VEGFR2, KIT, FLT3 and AXL with IC50 values of 7.8, 1.9, 5.0, 7.5 and 42μM, respectively.
Application
As a pan-tyrosine kinase inhibitor, cabozantinib can affect many biological processes. Cabozantinib inhibits the tubule formation of HMVEC cells with IC50 value of 6.7nM. In B16F10 cells, cabozantinib inhibits HGF-inducedmigration and invasion with IC50 values of 31nM and 9nM, respectively. Moreover, cabozantinib shows anti-proliferation efficacy in a variety of tumors such as SNU-5, Hs746T, MDA-MB-231 and U87MG. It is also reported that the combination of cabozantinib and gefitinib can cause potent inhibition of the gefitinib-resistant HCC827GR6 cell line.
