Pazopanib is a novel multi-target inhibitor of VEGFR1, VEGFR2, VEGFR3, PDGFR, FGFR, c-Kit and c-Fms with IC50 of 10 nM, 30 nM, 47 nM, 84 nM, 74 nM, 140 nM and 146 nM, respectively.
Pazopanib potently inhibits VEGF-induced phosphorylation of VEGFR2 in HUVEC cells with IC50 of 8 nM.PPazopanib shows dose-dependent growth inhibition in all synovial sarcoma cell lines including SYO-1 and HS-SY-II cells. Proliferation of SYO-1 and HS-SY-II cells is inhibited even at 1 µg/mL of Pazopanib and is completely abolished at 5 µg/mL. Pazopanib induces G1 arrest, and thereby suppresses the growth of synovial sarcoma cells. Phosphorylation of Akts, GSK-3β, JNKs, p70 S6 Kinase, and mTOR is suppressed in Pazopanib-treated SYO-1 cells compared with that in the vehicle-treated cells.Pazopanib between 20 m g/mL and 22.5 m g/mL shows an increasing reduction of RPE cell viability.
The mice treated with 30 mg/kg or 100 mg/kg Pazopanib reveals a significant decrease in tumor burden compared with the mice treated with vehicle or 10 mg/kg Pazopanib. Treatment with Pazopanib is well-tolerated and there is no significant difference in the body weight among the mice in each group.
