The advent of multi-kinase inhibitors targeting the VEGF-receptor has revolutionized the treatment of highly angiogenic malignances such as renal cell carcinoma. Interestingly, several such inhibitors are commercially available, and they each possess diverse specific beneficial and adverse effect profiles. In examining the structure of sorafenib, it was hypothesized that this compound would possess inhibitory effects on the soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), an enzyme with pleiotropic effects on inflammation and vascular disease. We now show that sorafenib, but not another VEGF-receptor targeted inhibitor sunitinib, is a potent inhibitor of the human sEH in vitro (KI = 17 ± 4 nM). Furthermore, sorafenib causes the expected in vivo shift in oxylipid profile resulting from sEH inhibition, evidence of a reduction in the acute inflammatory response. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced hypotension was reversed with sorafenib, but not sunitinib, treatment, suggesting that sEH inhibition accounts for at least part of the anti-inflammatory effect of sorafenib. The pharmacokinetic studies presented here in light of the known potency of sorafenib as a sEH inhibitor indicate that the sEH will be largely inhibited at therapeutic doses of sorafenib. Thus it is likely that sEH inhibition contributes to the beneficial effects from the inhibition of the VEGF-receptor and other kinases during treatment with sorafenib.
