ca.1 uM

AZD1480 is suspended in water supplemented with 0.5% hypromellose and 0.1% Tween 80.

5uM AZD1480 induces G2/M arrest and cell death by inhibiting Aurora kinases. [1] AZD1480 is a potent JAK2 inhibitor that can suppress growth, survival, as well as FGFR3 and STAT3 signaling and downstream targets including Cyclin D2 in human multiple myeloma cells. At low micromolar concentrations, AZD1480 blocks cell proliferation and induces apoptosis of myeloma cell lines. [2]AZD1480 effectively blocks constitutive and stimulus-induced JAK1, JAK2, and STAT-3 phosphorylation in both human and murine glioma cells, and leads to a decrease in cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis. [3]AZD1480 is a potent, competitive small-molecule inhibitor of JAK1/2 kinase, and that it is capable of inhibiting STAT3 phosphorylation and tumor growth in a STAT3-dependent manner. AZD1480 inhibits tumor angiogenesis and metastasis in part by affecting the tumor microenvironment. [4]

48 or 24 hours

Renca or 786-O cells are suspended in DMEM medium with 5% FBS , and seeded in 96-well plates (5x103 per well) to allow adhesion and then treated with DMSO or AZD1480 for 48 hours. Cell viability is determined by MTS assay. Absorbance at 490 nm is measured with Mikrotek Laborsysteme. Mouse endothelial cells and splenic CD11b+/c- myeloid cells are enriched from tumor-bearing mice, and cultured in 5% FBS RPMI-1640 medium. HUVECs are cultured on collagen 1–coated plates in complete medium. All cells are treated with DMSO and AZD1480 at various doses for 24 hours. Cell viability is determined by counting cell number manually. All the experiments are repeated 3 times.

AZD1480 is a novel ATP-competitive JAK2 inhibitor with IC50 of 0.26 nM in a cell-free assay, selectivity against JAK3 and Tyk2, and to a smaller extent against JAK1. Phase 1.
