Акситиниб

Описание

In January 2012, the US FDA approved axitinib (also referred to as AG-013736) for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) for patients who have not responded to prior therapy. Axitinib is a pan VEGF inhibitor and functions by binding to the intracellular tyrosine kinase catalytic domain of VEGF leading to blockade of signaling through this angiogenic pathway. Axitinib is50–400 times more potent for VEGF (enzyme Ki and cellular IC_50s for VEGF 1, 2, and 3 are ～0.1 nM) than first-generation inhibitors like sorafenib and sunitinib. Axitinib also inhibits c-Kit and PDGFR(α/β) with enzyme Ki's of ～2 nM and was selective when tested against a broad panel of other protein kinases. Axitinib was discovered by a structure-based drug design approach and binds to the kinase domain of VEGF in a DFG-out conformation. Axitinib blocks VEGF-2 phosphorylation up to 7 h postdose in vivo and inhibits endothelial cell proliferation in xenograft tumors implanted in mice. Synthetic routes to axitinib employing a Migita coupling to form the diaryl sulfide and a Heck reaction to install the 2-styrylpyridine moiety have been reported.

Использование

Axitinib (AG-013736) is a multi-target inhibitor of VEGFR1, VEGFR2, VEGFR3, PDGFRβ and c-Kit with IC50 of 0.1 nM, 0.2 nM, 0.1-0.3 nM, 1.6 nM and 1.7 nM, respectively.

Определение

ChEBI: An indazole substituted at position 3 by a 2-(pyridin-2-yl)vinyl group and at position 6 by a 2-(N-methylaminocarboxy)phenylsulfanyl group. Used for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma after failure of a first line systemic tr atment.

Клиническое использование

Sold under the brand name Inlyta® by Pfizer, Inc., axitinib was approved by the FDA in January 2012 for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), specifically after the failure of other systemic treatments. Axitinib slows cancer cell proliferation by inhibition of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/VEGF receptor tyrosine (RTK) signaling pathway. In particular, axitinib is a potent inhibitor of VEGF/RTK 1-3, which selectively slows angiogenesis, vascular permeability, and blood flow in solid tumors.

Побочные эффекты

The side effects that you should report to your doctor include:
allergic reactions like skin rash, itching or hives, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue;
high blood pressure;
seizures;
signs and symptoms of bleeding such as bloody or black, tarry stools; red or dark-brown urine; spitting up blood or brown material that looks like coffee grounds; red spots on the skin; unusual bruising or bleeding from the eye, gums, or nose;
signs and symptoms of a blood clot such as breathing problems; changes in vision; chest pain; severe, sudden headache; pain, swelling, warmth in the leg; trouble speaking; sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm, or leg;
stomach pain.
The side effects that usually do not require medical attention include constipation cough, diarrhea, loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting.
