Handling Instructions Technical Support

Sorafenib (Bay 43-9006) tosylate is a potent oral active multikinase inhibitor. Sorafenib blocks autophosphorylation and activity of receptor tyrosine kinases (VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3) and RAF family kinases, thereby suppressing the RAF/MEK/ERK and PI3K/Akt pathways, inhibiting STAT3 phosphorylation, and selectively inhibiting the MAPK pathway in cancer cells. Sorafenib tosylate induces cell cycle arrest, autophagy, apoptosis, and PARP cleavage, reduces Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, cyclin D1 levels, and activates Bak and Bax. Sorafenib tosylate inhibits tumor growth and metastasis in mouse and rat models. Sorafenib tosylate can be used for cancer research, such as colon, breast, non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), ovarian, pancreatic, melanoma, colorectal and hepatocellular carcinoma.

    Sorafenib (7.5-60 mg/kg; p.o.; daily for 5 or 9 days) tosylate inhibits tumor growth, suppresses RAF/MEK/ERK signaling, and reduces angiogenesis in mouse breast, colon, and NSCLC xenograft models, with no observed toxicity[1].
    Sorafenib (30 mg/kg; i.g.; once daily; once daily from day 17 to day 38) tosylate inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma tumor growth and metastasis in an orthotopic rat Morris Hepatoma (MH) model, while inducing tumor apoptosis and suppressing STAT3, Akt, and ERK phosphorylation[3].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
