FGFR inhibitor derazantinib causes dose-dependent inhibition of endothelial cell proliferation, VEGFR signalling and vascular permeability in mouse skin, and induces a reduction in fractional blood volume, as assessed by susceptibility-contrast MRI, in colorectal tumour xenografts.
Figure 3. T2w images and paramagnetic maps of baseline R2*, USPIO-induced ΔR2* and fractional blood volume (fBV) from representative athymic nude mice pre and post 48h treatment with vehicle, 80mg/kg DZB daily or 50mg/kg vatalanib twice daily.
Figure 4. Quantification of baseline R2* and fractional blood volume (fBV) in all mice pre and post 48h treatment with vehicle, 80mg/kg DZB daily or 50mg/kg vatalanib twice daily. DZB and vatalanib induced significant reductions in fBV (p<0.05, 2-way repeated measures ANOVA).
