Cabozantinib HCl (XL184 hydrochloride; BMS907351; Cometriq) is an orally bioavailable and potent VEGFR2 inhibitor with anticancer activity. It inhibits VEGFR2 with an IC50 of 0.035 nM. It is a multiple receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor that also inhibits c-Met, Ret, Kit, Flt-1/3/4, Tie2, and AXL with IC50 of 1.3 nM, 4 nM, 4.6 nM, 12 nM/11.3 nM/6 nM, 14.3 nM and 7 nM in cell-free assays, respectively. Cabozantinib strongly binds to and inhibits several tyrosine receptor kinases. Cabozantinib was approved by the U.S. FDA in November 2012 for the treatment of medullary thyroid cancer.

Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | Cabozantinib hydrochloride, with IC50 values of 7.8, 1.9, 5.0, 7.5, and 42 μM, respectively, suppresses the phosphorylation of MET and VEGFR2, as well as KIT, FLT3, and AXL [1]. In HMVEC, MDA-MB-231, A431, HT1080, and B16F10 cells, respectively, capozantinib hydrochloride (4.6 nM) suppresses renal tubule development without exhibiting any signs of cytotoxicity. both 4.7 and 7.7 nM[1]. Inhibiting cell migration and invasion, cabotezantinib hydrochloride (0-370 nM, 24 hours) is used [1]. Inhibiting the growth of tumor cells in different types of tumors is possible with cabotinib hydrochloride (48 hours) [1]. |
| ln Vivo | Cabozantinib hydrochloride (100 mg/kg, orally, once) suppresses MET and VEGFR2 phosphorylation in mice [1]. Cabozantinib hydrochloride (100 mg/kg, orally, once) dramatically enhances tumor hypoxia and apoptosis [1]. Cabozantinib hydrochloride (0-60 mg/kg, orally, once daily for 14 days) suppresses tumor development in a dose-dependent manner [1]. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | May dissolve in DMSO (in most cases), if not, try other solvents such as H2O, Ethanol, or DMF with a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples |
