Solubility
DMSO 20 mg/mL; Water <1 mg/mL; Ethanol <1 mg/mL
In vitro
In vitro studies indicate that E7050 potently inhibits phosphorylation of both c-Met and VEGFR-2. E7050 also potently represses the growth of both c-met amplified tumor cells and endothelial cells stimulated with either HGF or VEGF. E7050 circumvents resistance to all of the reversible, irreversible, and mutant-selective EGFR-TKIs induced by exogenous and/or endogenous HGF in EGFR mutant lung cancer cell lines, by blocking the Met/Gab1/PI3K/Akt pathway in vitro. E7050 also prevents the emergence of gefitinib-resistant HCC827 cells induced by continuous exposure to HGF.
In vivo
In vivo studies using E7050 shows inhibition of the phosphorylation of c-Met and VEGFR-2 in tumors, and strong inhibition of tumor growth and tumor angiogenesis in xenograft models. Treatment of some tumor lines containing c-met amplifications with high doses of E7050 (50–200 mg/kg) induces tumor regression and disappearance. In a peritoneal dissemination model, E7050 shows an antitumor effect against peritoneal tumors as well as a significant prolongation of lifespan in treated mice. In another xenograft model research, tumors produced by HGF-transfected Ma-1 (Ma-1/HGF) cells are more angiogenic than vector control tumors and shows resistance to ZD1839. E7050 alone inhibits angiogenesis and retards growth of Ma-1/HGF tumors. E7050 combined with ZD1839 induces marked regression of tumor growth.
