TAE-226, CAS NO.761437-28-9

NVP-TAE226 is a potent FAK inhibitor with IC50 of 5.5 nM and modestly potent to Pyk2(IC50=3.5 nM); 10- to 100-fold less potent against InsR, IGF-1R, ALK, and c-Met.
IC50 value: 5.5 nM (FAK); 3.5 nM (Pyk2) [1]
Target: FAK/Pyk2
in vitro: NVP-TAE226 (< 1 μM) inhibits extracellular matrix-induced autophosphorylation of FAK (Tyr397) in serum-starved U87 cells. NVP-TAE226 (< 1 μM) also inhibits IGF-I-induced phosphorylation of IGF-1R and activity of its downstream target genes such as MAPK and Akt in both U87 and U251 cells. NVP-TAE226 (<10 μM) retards tumor cell growth and attenuats G(2)-M cell cycle progression associated with a decrease in cyclin B1 and phosphorylated cdc2 (Tyr15) protein expression in both U87 and U251 cells. NVP-TAE226 (1 μM) inhibits tumor cell invasion by at least 50% compared with the control in an in vitro Matrigel invasion assay in glioma cell lines. NVP-TAE226 (1 μM) treatment of glioma cell lines containing wild-type p53 mainly exhibits G(2)-M arrest, whereas glioma cell lines bearing mutant p53 undergoes apoptosis, as evidence by detection of caspase-3/7 activation and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage and by an Annexin V apoptosis assay [1]. NVP-TAE226 (5 μM) inhibits phosphorylation of FAK in the human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-AS. NVP-TAE226 (<10 μM) treatment of the human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-AS leads to decrease in cellular viability, cell cycle arrest, and an increase in apoptosis [2]. NVP-TAE226 (0.1 μM-10 μM) inhibits tube formation of HMEC1 cells [3].
in vivo: NVP-TAE226 (75 mg/kg) significantly increases the survival rate of mice bearing intracranial glioma xenografts [1]. NVP-TAE226 (100 mg/kg, oral) exerts significant decrease in microvessel density in a human colon cancer model in SCID mice [3].
