Description

AZD1480 is a potent JAK2 inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.26 nM. AZD1480 inhibits constitutive and stimulus-induced phosphorylation of JAK2 and STAT-3 in vitro, downstream gene expression, and inhibits cell proliferation. AZD1480 suppresses STAT-3 activation in the glioma-initiating cell population in glioblastoma (GBM) tumors. In vivo, AZD1480 inhibits the growth of subcutaneous tumors and increases survival of mice bearing intracranial GBM tumors by inhibiting STAT-3 activity. Importantly, AZD1480 induces cell death of Kms.11 cells grown in the presence of HS-5 bone marrow (BM)-derived stromal cells and inhibits tumor growth in a Kms.11 xenograft mouse model, accompanied with inhibition of phospho-FGFR3, phospho-JAK2, phospho-STAT3 and Cyclin D2 levels. AZD1480 blocks proliferation, survival, FGFR3 and JAK/STAT3 signaling in myeloma cells cultured alone or cocultured with BM stromal cells, and in vivo, and leads to a decrease in cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis.
