Nude mice are inoculated with H460 cells subcutaneously and after tumors have been established, animals are treated with BAY 87-2243 (0.5, 1, 2, and 4 mg/kg) for 3 weeks by daily oral gavage. BAY 87-2243 reduced tumor weight dose dependently in line with a dose-dependent reduction of the mRNA expression levels of the HIF-1 target genes CA9, ANGPTL4, and EGLN3, whereas the mRNA expression levels of hypoxia-insensitive EGLN2 gene and of HIF-1α itself are not affected by compound treatment in vivo.
