PD 173074
PD 173074 (CAS 219580-11-7) is a potent and selective small molecule inhibitor belonging to the class of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, functioning as a selective antagonist of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) in cellular systems and exhibiting high selectivity against other related kinases. Additionally, it demonstrates inhibition of related signaling pathways downstream of FGFR activation.
In in vitro enzymatic assays, PD 173074 inhibits FGFR activity with an IC50 value of 25 nM, tested against purified FGFR proteins. It is also capable of suppressing other tyrosine kinase activities with measured IC50 values in the range of 100–200 nM, tested in comparison to kinases such as VEGFR and others. In contrast, its inhibitory effect against kinases such as c-Src is more than 1000-fold less potent than against FGFR, highlighting its high degree of specificity. Further studies indicate that PD 173074 can block FGFR-driven signaling cascades and reduce cell proliferation in FGFR-dependent cell lines. It can also inhibit downstream phosphorylation events associated with growth factor signaling, contributing to its overall antagonist activity.
In pharmaceutical and biomedical research, PD 173074 is widely used for mechanistic studies of FGFR signaling, target validation, and as a research tool in the development or screening of FGFR-targeted therapeutics.

In vitro kinase inhibition assays |
Assays using the full-length FGFR-1 kinase were performed in a total volume of 100 μL containing 25 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 10 mM MnCl2, 0.2 mM sodium orthovanadate, 750 μg/mL concentration of a random copolymer of glutamic acid and tyrosine (4:1), various concentrations of PD173074 and 60 to 75 ng of enzyme. The reaction was initiated by the addition of [γ-32P]ATP (5 μM ATP containing 0.4 μCi of [γ-32P]ATP per incubation), and samples were incubated at 25 °C for 10 mins. The reaction was terminated by the addition of 30% trichloroacetic acid and the precipitation of material onto glass-fiber filter mats. Filters were washed three times with 15% trichloroacetic acid, and the incorporation of [32P] into the glutamate tyrosine polymer substrate was determined by counting the radioactivity retained on the filters in a Wallac 1250 betaplate reader. |
