azd 2171

Cediranib is a potent and selective inhibitor of VEGF with antineoplastic activities. It inhibits all three vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGF-1,-2,-3) tyrosine kinases, thereby blocking VEGF-signaling, angiogenesis, and tumor cell growth.

Cediranib (AZD2171) (AZD2171) is a highly potent (IC50 < 1 nmol L) ATP-competitive inhibitor of recombinant KDR tyrosine kinase in vitro, also inhibits Flt1 4 (IC50: 5 nM ≤3 nM), similar activity against PDGFRβ and c-Kit, selective more for VEGFR than PDGFR-α (36-fold), CSF-1R (110-fold), and Flt3 (1000-fold) in HUVEC cells.
