Sitravatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that targets the TYRO3, AXL, and MERTK (TAM) receptors, the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) family, c-Kit, and c-MET[1,2].
In vitro,Sitravatinib treatment decreased MET, EphA2, EphA3, or AXL protein phosphorylation levels in sunitinib and axitinib-resistant (SuR/AxR) human LM2-4 and mouse RENCA or 4T1 cells after 3 hours, enhanced effect in resistant cell lines[2]. The IC50 values for the three sensitive cell lines (DDLS, MPNST and LS141) ranged between 250–750nM, IC50 values for the less sensitive cell lines (A673 and Saos2) ranged between 1.5–2.0mM[3].
In vivo, Sitravatinib (2mg/kg; oral; every other day for 14 days) alone had 37% inhibitory effect on tumor volume (IRV) and 28% inhibitory effect on tumor weight (IRW) in the SW620 mice[4]. Sitravatinib (p.o.; 20mg/kg; once per day for 24 days) significantly inhibited tumor progression and induced tumor regression in immunocompetent mice bearing KLN205, CT1B-A5, or E0771 tumors[5].

Sitravatinib是一种酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(TKI),能够作用于TYRO3、AX和MERTK(TAM)受体、血管内皮生长因子受体(VEGFR)家族、c-Kit 和 c-MET[1,2]。
在体外实验中,Sitravatinib治疗在3小时后降低了sunitinib和sunitinib耐药(SuR/AxR)的人类 LM2-4 和小鼠 RENCA 或 4T1 细胞中的 MET、EphA2、EphA3或AXL蛋白的磷酸化水平,且在耐药细胞系中的效果更显著[2]。三种敏感细胞系(DDLS、MPNST和LS141)的IC50值250–750nM之间,而不太敏感的细胞系(A673和Saos2)的IC50值在1.5–2.0mM之间[3]。
在体内实验中,单独使用Sitravatinib(2mg/kg;口服;每隔一天一次,持续14天)对SW620小鼠的肿瘤体积抑制率为37%,对肿瘤重量抑制率为28%[4]。Sitravatinib(口服;20mg/kg;每天一次;24天)显著抑制了携带KLN205、CT1B-A5或E0771肿瘤的免疫功能正常的小鼠的肿瘤进展,并诱导肿瘤消退[5]。
