After oral dosing (50 mg/kg) to mice, plasma concentrations of Vatalanib (PTK787) remain above 1 μM for more than 8 h. Vatalanib (PTK787) induces dose-dependent inhibition of VEGF and PDGF-induced angiogenesis in a growth factor implant model, as well as a tumor cell-driven angiogenesis model after once-daily oral dosing (25-100 mg/kg)^[1].
