PD 173074 inhibits autophosphorylation of FGFR1 in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 in the range 1-5 nM. PD 173074 is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of FGFR1 with an inhibitory constant (Ki) of 40 nM. PD 173074 and SU 5402 produce concentration-dependent reductions in FGF-2 enhancement of granule neuron survival, with IC50 values of 8 nM and 9 μM, respectively. PD 173074 does not inhibit neurotrophic and neuritogenic actions of FGF-2 signalling molecules in cerebellar granule neurons. PD 173074 and SU 5402 concentration-dependently inhibits the neurite growth response, when tested on FGF-2-treated granule neurons growing on polylysine/laminin, with IC50s of 22 nM and 25 μM, respectively. PD173074 effectively antagonizes the effect of FGF-2 on proliferation and differentiation of OL progenitors in culture. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation, a downstream event after activation of either FGFR or PDGFR, is also blocked by PD173074 in OL progenitors stimulated with FGF-2 but not PDGF.
