Product Description

Nintedanib (formerly BIBF-1120; trade name: Vargatef) is an orally bioavailable multi-kinase inhibitor with potential antineoplastic and anti-fibrotic activity. In cell-free experiments, it suppresses VEGFR1/2/3, FGFR1/2/3, and PDGFRα/β with IC50s of 34 nM/13 nM/13 nM, 69 nM/37 nM/108 nM, and 59 nM/65 nM. The FDA approved nitedanib in November 2014 to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
VEGFR1 (IC50 = 34 nM); VEGFR2 (IC50 = 13 nM); VEGFR3 (IC50 = 13 nM); FGFR1 (IC50 = 69 nM); FGFR2 (IC50 = 37 nM); FGFR3 (IC50 = 108 nM); PDGFRα (IC50 = 59 nM); PDGFRβ (IC50 = 65 nM)
ln Vitro
Nintedanib (BIBF 1120) attaches itself to the ATP-binding site of the kinase domain, which is located in the cleft between the amino and carboxy terminal lobes. With an EC50 of 79 nM in cell assays, neintedanib (BIBF 1120) inhibits the proliferation of PDGF-BB stimulated BRPs. After stimulation with 5% serum plus PDGF-BB, neintedanib (BIBF 1120) (100 nM) inhibits MAPK activation. In cultures of human vascular smooth muscle cells (HUASMC), neintedanib (BIBF 1120) inhibits PDGF-BB stimulated proliferation with an EC50 of 69 nM[1].
ln Vivo
Nintedanib (BIBF 1120) 25–100 mg/kg daily p.o. is very active in all tumor models, including a syngeneic rat tumor model and human tumor xenografts growing in nude mice. This is demonstrated by the tumor's perfusion on magnetic resonance imaging after three days, its decreased vessel integrity and density after five days, and its significant growth inhibition[1]. Orally administered nitedanib (BIBF 1120) is well tolerated and shows encouraging efficacy in in vivo tumor models[2].
Enzyme Assay
The pFastBac clone containing the cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain of VEGFR2 (residues 797–1355 based on the sequence deposited in databank SWISS-PROT P35968) is fused to GST and extracted. The assay of enzyme activity is conducted in 25% DMSO with or without serial dilutions of BIBF1120. There are internal controls on every microtiter plate, including blank, maximum reaction, and historical reference compound. On a rotating shaker, all incubations are carried out at room temperature. One hour is spent preincubating 10 μL of diluted kinase (0.8 μg/mL VEGFR2, 10 mM Tris pH 7.5, 2 mM EDTA, and 2 mg/mL BSA) with 10 μL of each BIBF1120 dilution. Addition of 30 μL of substrate mix containing 13.3 mM Mg-acetate, 6.2.4 mM Tris pH 7.5, 2.7 mM DTT, 5.3 mM MnCl2, 0.42 mM ATP, 0.83 mg/mL Poly-Glu-Tyr(4:1), and 1.7 μg/mL Poly-Glu-Tyr(4:1)-biotin initiates the reaction, which is then incubated for one hour. 90 μL of the reaction mix is placed on a streptavidin plate and incubated for one to two hours. The reaction is stopped by adding 50 μL of 250 mM EDTA, 20 mM HEPES, and pH 7.4. PY20 is added (recommended dilution 1:2000 of 0.5 mg/mL labeled antibody in DELFIA assay buffer) following three PBS washes with the EU-labeled antibody. Three DELFIA washing buffer washes are used to get rid of extra detection antibody. The DELFIA enhancement solution (100 μL) is then incubated in each well 10 minutes prior to measurement on the multilabel reader.
Cell Assay
For the assay, the cell lines BRP, HUASMC, and HUVEC are employed. The cultures are supplemented with BIBF1120 two hours prior to the addition of ligands. There are cell lysates produced. Standard SDS-PAGE techniques are used for western blotting, with 50–75 μg of protein loaded per lane. Improved chemiluminescence aids in detection. Monoclonal antibodies M3807 and M8159 are used to analyze total and phosphorylated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). The monoclonal antibody for phosphorylated Akt (Ser473) is used to analyze it, while the corresponding polyclonal antibody is used to detect total Akt. While a corresponding antibody is used to detect KDR (VEGFR2) protein, monoclonal antibodies are also utilized to detect cleaved caspase-3.
Animal Protocol
For the assay, athymic NMRI-nu/nu female mice weighing between 21 and 33 grams are five to six weeks old. Following their acclimation, mice are injected with 1 to 5×106 (in 100 μL) of SKOV-3, FaDu, Caki-1, H460, HT-29, or PAC-120 cells subcutaneously into their right flank. Following their acclimation, 5×106 (in 100 μL) GS-9L cells are subcutaneously injected into the right flank of F344 Fischer rats. Blood is extracted from the retroorbital plexus of mice at predetermined intervals for pharmacokinetic analysis, and plasma is examined using high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry methodology[1].

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
