Cediranib maleate

The inhibitory activity of Cediranib is determined against a range of recombinant tyrosine kinases [KDR, Flt-1, Flt-4, c-Kit, PDGFR-α, PDGFR-β, CSF-1R, Flt-3, FGFR1, Src, Abl, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), ErbB2, Aur-A, and Aur-B] using ELISA methodology^[1].

Proliferation of MG63 osteosarcoma cells is induced by PDGF-AA, which selectively activates PDGFR-α homodimer signaling. Cells are cultured in DMEM without phenol red containing 1% charcoal stripped FCS, 2 mM glutamine, and 1% nonessential amino acids for 24 hours. Cediranib or vehicle is added with PDGF-AA ligand (50 ng/mL) and plates reincubated for 72 hours. Cellular proliferation is determined using a bromodeoxyuridine^[1].

Rats: Young female Alderley Park rats (6 weeks of age, Wistar derived, n=5) are dosed orally, once daily for 28 days with Cediranib (1.25-5 mg per kg per day) or vehicle. Additional rats (five per group) are treated with Cediranib (5 mg per kg per day) or vehicle for 28 days and maintained for a further 28 days without treatment, to examine the effect of compound withdrawal. Histologic paraffin wax sections of the femorotibial joints and ovaries are stained with H&E. Morphometric image analysis of femorotibial sections is done, with growth plate areas from both the femur and tibia in each joint being combined for an analysis of the effect of compound treatment. The area of corpora lutea in H&E-stained ovary sections is similarly determined by morphometric analysis^[1].
