In Vitro

In human umbilical vein endothelial cells, Cediranib inhibits VEGF-stimulated proliferation and KDR phosphorylation with IC₅₀ values of 0.4 and 0.5 nM, respectively. In a fibroblast/endothelial cell coculture model of vessel sprouting, Cediranib also reduces vessel area, length, and branching at subnanomolar concentrations^[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Once-daily oral administration of Cediranib ablates experimental (VEGF-induced) angiogenesis and inhibits endochondral ossification in bone or corpora luteal development in ovary; physiologic processes that are highly dependent upon neovascularization. The growth of established human tumor xenografts (colon, lung, prostate, breast, and ovary) in athymic mice is inhibited dose-dependently by Cediranib, with chronic administration of 1.5 mg per kg per day producing statistically significant inhibition in all models. A histologic analysis of Calu-6 lung tumors treated with Cediranib reveals a reduction in microvessel density within 52 hours that becomes progressively greater with the duration of treatment. These changes are indicative of vascular regression within tumors^[1].

Stock Solution Working Solution

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Protocol 1

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline

Solubility: ≥ 2 mg/mL (4.44 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

Protocol 2

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% Corn Oil

Solubility: ≥ 2 mg/mL (4.44 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Protocol

Kinase Assay^[1]

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].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Assay^[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].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Administration^[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].

Mice: Mice bearing established Calu-6 human lung tumor xenografts (0.2±0.01 cm³) are selected (day 0) and treated chronically with Cediranib (6 mg per kg per day, p.o.) or vehicle. Tumors are collected (6-15 per group) 4 hours after the last dose of Cediranib or vehicle, on days 1, 2, 7, 14, and 21. CD31 is then detected in sections using a chromagen end point or fluorescent immunostaining^[1].

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
