Orantinib (SU6668; 0.03-10 μM) shows inhibitory activity against tyrosine phosphorylation of KDR in VEGF stimulated HUVECs, and also blocks PDGF-stimulated PDGFRβ tyrosine phosphorylation in NIH-3T3 cells overexpressing PDGFRβ. Orantinib (≥10 μM) inhibits acidic FGF-induced phosphorylation of the FGFR1 substrate 2. However, Orantinib (up to 100 μM) has no effect on EGF-stimulated EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation in NIH-3T3 cells overexpressing EGFR. Furthermore, Orantinib inhibits VEGF-driven and FGF-driven mitogenesis of HUVECs with mean IC50 of 0.34 μM and 9.6 μM, respectively. In human myeloid leukemia MO7E cells, Orantinib (SU6668) inhibits the tyrosine autophosphorylation of stem cell factor (SCF) receptor, c-kit, with IC50 of 0.1-1 μM, as well as ERK1/2 phosphorylation. In addition, Orantinib suppresses SCF-induced proliferation of MO7E cells with an IC50 of 0.29 μM, and induces apoptosis.
