A selective inhibitor of VEGFR2/FLK1
SU 1498 is a selective inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinase VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2, aka FLK1; IC50 = 700 nM), having negligible activity at several other serine/threonine and tyrosine kinases.1,2 It effectively blocks signaling through VEGFR2 both in vitro and in vivo.1,3 SU 1498 is used to study the role of VEGFR2 signaling in diverse processes, including angiogenesis, tumor growth, neural progenitor cell survival, and neuroregeneration.3,4,5,6

Kinase experiment: |
The ERK1 or ERK2 solution is pipetted into tubes (1 μL per tube) and mixed with 0-10 μL of 50 μM SU1498 (in kinase buffer without ATP). The blank tube receives buffer only. The volume is adjusted to 11 μL with the same buffer, and the mixtures are incubated for 10 min at 25°C. This is followed by the addition of 40 μL of the Elk1-ATP-buffer solution, and the incubations are continued for 30 min at 30°C. The reactions are stopped with 20 μL of 4× sample buffer mix and heating at 95°C for 10 min. Samples (15 μL) are fractionated by SDS-PAGE, and phosphorylated Elk1 is detected by immunoblotting with anti-phospho-Elk1 antibody[2]. |

Cell experiment: |
For cell proliferation assay, U87 cells are seeded in 24-well plates (30,000 cells/well) and allowed to attach overnight. Cells are then treated for 24 or 72 h with different concentrations of Bevacizumab (from 10 ng/mL to 250 μg/mL) or SU1498 (from 1 μM to 30 μM) in triplicate wells. The cell viability is then assessed with the MTT assay[4]. |
