Description: AEW541, also known as NVP-AEW541, is a novel, potent IGF-IR kinase inhibitor. NVP-AEW541 is capable of distinguishing between the IGF-IR (IC50 = 0.086 microM) and the closely related InsR (IC50 = 2.3 microM) in cells. NVP- AEW541 abrogates IGF-I-mediated survival and colony formation in soft agar at concentrations that are consistent with inhibition of IGF-IR autophosphorylation. Note: AEW541 has a Cis-configuration on the cyclobutane ring. Its CAS# is 475489-16-8. Many vendors and Sc-finder scholar made mistake - AEW541 was mistakenly listed as CAS#475488-34-7, the trans-isomer of AEW541. The correct structure of AEW541 can be confirmed from Joel Slade, et al (from Novartis), Org. Process Res. Dev. 2007, 11, 5, 825–835.

In vivo, this orally bioavailable compound inhibits IGF-IR signaling in tumor xenografts and significantly reduces the growth of IGF-IR-driven fibrosarcomas. Thus, NVP- AEW541 represents a class of selective, small molecule IGF-IR kinase inhibitors with proven in vivo antitumor activity and potential therapeutic application.
