Notes: NSC 12 is an extracellular trap for fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) that binds FGF2 (Kd = 51 µM) and interferes with its interaction with FGFR1, without affecting the ability of FGF2 to bind heparin or heparin sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs).{32843} NSC 12 also binds several other, but not all, FGF isoforms with Kd values ranging between 16 and 120 µM, preventing them from forming HSPG/FGF/FGFR ternary complexes.{32843} NSC 12 inhibits FGF-dependent angiogenesis and tumor cell proliferation in vitro and reduces tumor growth in mice.{32843}
