Sorafenib
Sorafenib (CAS 284461-73-0) is an orally bioavailable small molecule inhibitor targeting multiple kinases, including Raf kinase as well as receptor tyrosine kinases such as VEGFR2, PDGFR, FLT3, Ret, and c-Kit. By inhibiting Raf signaling pathways, sorafenib suppresses tumor cell proliferation, induces apoptosis, and disrupts tumor angiogenesis. In vitro studies demonstrate that sorafenib effectively inhibits Raf-mediated signaling cascades and blocks the proliferation of tumor cells. Sorafenib serves as an important research tool in the study of cancer biology, particularly in investigating antiangiogenic and antiproliferative mechanisms in various tumor models.

Applications |
Sorafenib tosylate produced dose-dependent growth inhibition of s.c. implanted PLC/PRF/5 tumor xenografts in SCID mice. Dose levels of 10 and 30 mg/kg produced significant and dose-dependent TGIs of 49% and 78%, respectively. Sorafenib tosylate produced durable partial tumor regressions in 50% of the mice at the 100 mg/kg dose level. |
|
Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
