Description:	NVP-BAW2881 (BAW2881) is a potent and selective VEGFR2 inhibitor with an IC50 of 4 nM.
Target:	VEGFR1:820 nM (IC50) VEGFR2:9 nM (IC50) VEGFR3:420 nM (IC50)
In Vivo:	In a transgenic mouse model of psoriasis, NVP-BAW2881 reduces the number of blood and lymphatic vessels and infiltrating leukocytes in the skin, and normalized the epidermal architecture. NVP-BAW2881 also displays strong anti-inflammatory effects in models of acute inflammation; pretreatment with topical NVP-BAW2881 significantly inhibits VEGF-A-induced vascular permeability in the skin of pigs and mice[2].
In Vitro:	The VEGF-driven cellular receptor autophosphorylation in CHO cells of BAW2881 is inhibited with an IC50 of 4 nM. BAW2881 inhibits a limited number of kinases including c-RAF, B-RAF, RET, ABL, and TIE-2 at sub-μM IC50s[1]. NVP-BAW2881 is highly selective for VEGFR, although it also demonstrates activity against Tie2 (IC50=650 nM) and RET (IC50=410 nM). The IC50 values of NVP-BAW2881 toward a wide panel of other kinases are >10 μM. NVP-BAW2881 inhibits VEGF-A-induced phosphorylation of VEGFR-2 in HUVECs and in VEGFR-2-transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells, with IC50 values of 2.9 and 4.2 nM, respectively[2].
Cell Assay:	HUVECs or LECs (1200) are seeded into fibronectin-coated 96-well plates. After 24 hours, the cells are transferred into LEC medium containing 2% fetal bovine serum and incubated for an additional 24 hours. Cells (eight wells/condition) are incubated with medium alone (control), 20 ng/mL VEGF-A, or a combination of 20 ng/mL VEGF-A and 1 nM to 1 μM NVP-BAW2881. Proliferation is also assayed in LECs incubated with 500 ng/mL VEGF-C. The DMSO is adjusted to 0.1% in all wells. After 72 hours, cells are incubated with 5-methylumbelliferylheptanoate for subsequent fluorescent quantification of viable cells, using a electron microscope[2].
Animal Administration:	Mice: A contact hypersensitivity response is induced in the ear skin of 8-week-old female K14/VEGF-A TG mice. Five days after sensitization (day 0), the right ear is challenged by topical application of 10 μL oxazolone (1%) on each side. Starting on day 7, once-daily oral doses of 25 mg/kg NVP-BAW2881 or twice-daily topical doses of 0.5% NVP-BAW2881 are administered for 14 days. Control groups are given vehicles alone. The ear thickness is measured every other day using calipers. On day 21, mice are sacrificed and the weight of each ear and of its draining retro-auricular lymph node (LN) is determined[2].
