Although anti-tumor activity has been observed in several pre-clinical models, LY2157299 fails to show significant in vivo angiogenic effects in the 4T1, Colo205, or A549 xenograft models.
[2] Administration of LY2157299 ameliorates anemia in a TGF-β overexpressing transgenic mouse model of bone marrow failure.
[3] Oral administration of LY2157299 at 75 mg/kg/day displays significant antitumor activity against both Calu6 and MX1 xenografts in mice.
[5] In vivo, LY2157299 induces angiogenesis and enhances VEGF and basic-fibroblast-growth-factor-induced angiogenesis in a Matrigel-plug assay, whereas adding an alpha5-integrin-neutralizing antibody to the Matrigel selectively inhibits this enhanced response.
