General description

SU 5416 is a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor protein tyrosine kinase 1/2 inhibitor. SU 5416 is known to prevent tumor growth and tumor angiogenesis. SU 5416 inhibits the activity of neuronal nitric oxide synthase and protects the neuronal cells from nitric oxide-mediated neurotoxicity. It also acts as an agonist of aryl hydrocarbon receptor and may be an effective clinical agent for treating autoimmune diseases and transplant rejection.

Application

SU 5416 has been used to treat HUVEC cells before the tube formation assay to assess its impact on the network generated from tube formation. to induce pulmonary hypertension (PH) in mice to serve as an experimental model

The experimental compound SU5416 went as far as Phase III clinical trials as an anticancer agent, putatively because of its activity as a VEGFR-2 inhibitor, but showed poor results. Here, we show that SU5416 is also an aryl hydrocarbon receptor

The complex pathologies associated with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in humans have been a challenge to reproduce in mice due to the subtle phenotype displayed to PAH stimuli. Here we aim to develop a novel murine model of PAH

Similar to cancer, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by vascular remodeling, which leads to obliteration of the small pulmonary arteriole, with marked proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC) and/or endothelial cells dysfunction. Aberrant expression of tumor suppressor

SU5416 was originally designed as a potent and selective inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) for cancer therapy. In this study, we have found for the first time that SU5416 unexpectedly prevented 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP(+))-induced neuronal apoptosis in
