Abstract:

ABT-869 [N-(4-(3-amino-1H-indazol-4-yl)phenyl)-N'-(2-fluoro-5-methylphenyl)urea] is a novel multitargeted inhibitor of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor tyrosine kinase family members. ABT-869 demonstrates tumor growth inhibition in multiple preclinical animal models and in early clinical trials. VEGF receptor inhibition is also associated with reversible hypertension that may limit its benefit clinically. To evaluate optimal therapeutic approaches to prevent hypertension with VEGF receptor inhibition, we characterized the dose-dependent effects of seven antihypertensive agents from three mechanistic classes [angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEis), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), calcium channel blockers (CCBs)] on hypertension induced by ABT-869 in conscious telemetry rats. We report that ABT-869-induced hypertension can be prevented and reversed with subtherapeutic or therapeutic doses of antihypertensive drugs with a general rank order of ACEi > ARB > CCB. In SCID mice, the ACE inhibitor, enalapril (C(20)H(28)N(2)O(5) x C(4)H(4)O(4)) at 30 mg/kg, prevented hypertension, with no attenuation of the antitumor efficacy of ABT-869. These studies demonstrate that the adverse cardiovascular effects of the VEGF/PDGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, ABT-869, are readily controlled by conventional antihypertensive therapy without affecting antitumor efficacy.
