Pazopanib-d6

Description

Pazopanib-d₆ is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of pazopanib by GC- or LC-MS. Pazopanib is a multi-kinase inhibitor that inhibits the VEGF receptors VEGFR1, VEGFR2, and VEGFR3 (IC₅₀s = 10, 30, and 47 nM, respectively, in a cell-free enzyme assay).¹ It also inhibits PDGFRα, PDGFRβ, and c-Kit (IC₅₀s = 71, 84, and 74 nM, respectively, in a cell-free enzyme assay) as well as additional receptor tyrosine kinases. Pazopanib inhibits upregulation of the surface adhesion proteins ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 induced by VEGF in multiple myeloma cells cocultured with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and decreases multiple myeloma cell adhesion to HUVECs.² It also inhibits proliferation of multiple myeloma cells cocultured with HUVECs. Pazopanib (30 and 100 mg/kg) reduces tumor growth, induces apoptosis, decreases angiogenesis, and increases survival in a multiple myeloma mouse xenograft model. Formulations containing pazopanib have been used in the treatment of cancer.
