PD-161570 is a selective FGFR inhibitor (IC50 values are 40, 262 and 3700 nM for FGFR, PDGFR and EGFR respectively). PD 161570 had about 5- and 100-fold greater selectivity toward the FGF-1 receptor (IC50 = 40 nM) compared with the PDGFbeta receptor (IC50 = 262 nM) or EGF receptor (IC50 = 3.7 microM) tyrosine kinases, respectively. In addition, PD 161570 suppressed constitutive phosphorylation of the FGF-1 receptor in both human ovarian carcinoma cells (A121(p)) and Sf9 insect cells overexpressing the human FGF-1 receptor and blocked the growth of A121(p) cells in culture. The results demonstrate a novel synthetic inhibitor with nanomolar potency and specificity towards the FGF-1 receptor tyrosine kinase.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
