BAY 73-4506 (Regorafenib) is a multikinase inhibitor with IC50 of 17, 40 and 69 nM c-KIT, VEGFR2, B-Raf.

Regorafenib potently inhibits VEGFR2 autophosphorylation in NIH-3T3/VEGFR2 cells with an IC50 of 3 nM. In HAoSMCs, regorafenib inhibits PDGFR-β autophosphorylation after stimulation with PDGF-BB, with an IC50 of 90 nM. Regorafenib inhibits the proliferation of VEGF165-stimulated HUVECs, with an IC50 of 3 nMf. Regorafenib causes a concentration-dependent decrease in Hep3B cell growth, having an IC50 of 5 μM. Regorafenib subsequently increases the levels of phospho-c-Jun, a JNK target, but not total c-Jun in Hep3B cells.

Regorafenib effectively inhibits growth of the Colo-205 xenografts in the dose range of 10-100 mg/kg reaching a TGI of 75% at day 14 at the 10 mg/kg dose. In the MDA-MB-231 model, regorafenib is highly efficacious at a dose as low as 3 mg/kg, resulting in a significant TGI of 81%, which increases to 93% at doses of 10 and 30 mg/kg, where tumor stasis is reached.
