Angiogenesis inhibitor BT2 is a novel inhibitor of angiogenesis and vascular permeability, inhibiting ERK phosphorylation and the expression of FosB ΔFosB, VCAM-1, and many genes involved in proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, and inflammation, interacting with MEK1, suppressing retinal CD31, pERK, VCAM-1, and VEGF-A165 expression.

Angiogenesis Agent 1 (Compound C-31), a glycoside analogue derived from salidroside, acts as an activator of the HIF-1α pathway and shows potential in diabetic hind limb ischemia research [1].

Angiogenesis Inhibitor 3 (Compound 8) is a potent substance that effectively inhibits the growth of HUVEC and HCT-15 cells, demonstrating IC50 values of 1.00 and 0.71 μM, respectively. It not only induces apoptosis in these cells but also exhibits significant anticancer activity by suppressing cancer cell invasion. Furthermore, this compound successfully inhibits angiogenesis in zebrafish embryos [1].

Angiogenesis Inhibitor 4 is a potent agent for inhibiting angiogenesis, with potential applications in cancer research [1].

Penicillamine (Artamine), possessing antineoplastic properties, induces apoptosis by a p53-mediated mechanism and inhibits angiogenesis by chelating with copper, a cofactor for angiogenesis. Artamine is a beta dimethyl analog of the amino acid cysteine. As a degradation product of penicillin antibiotics, Artamine chelates with heavy metals and increases their urinary excretion.

Nintedanib (Intedanib) is a triple vascular kinase inhibitor that inhibits VEGFR1, VEGFR2, and VEGFR3 (IC50=34 13 13 nM), FGFR1, FGFR2, and FGFR3 (IC50=69 37 108 nM), PDGFRα, and PDGFRβ (IC50=59 65 nM). Nintedanib has antitumor activity and inhibits tumor growth by inhibiting angiogenesis.

Suramin Sodium Salt (BAY-205) is a sodium salt form of suramin, a polysulphonated naphthylurea with potential antineoplastic activity. Suramin blocks the binding of various growth factors, including insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), epidermal growth factor (EGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and tumor growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), to their receptors, thereby inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation and migration. This agent also inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)- and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-induced angiogenesis; retroviral reverse transcriptase; uncoupling of G-proteins from receptors; topoisomerases; cellular folate transport; and steroidogenesis.

R1498 is an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase 2. It also acts by targeting angiogenesis and mitosis pathways. It is well-tolerated and orally active for hepatocellular carcinoma and gastric cancer treatment.

MMPP is a novel VEGFR2 inhibitor with anti-inflammatory and potential anticancer activity, inhibits STAT3, inhibits angiogenesis via VEGFR2 AKT ERK NF-kappaB pathway, and can be used to alleviate myocardial injury.

(±)4-HDHA (4-Hydroxy docosahexaenoic acid) is a PPARγ agonist with anti-inflammatory activity that directly inhibits endothelial cell proliferation and sprouting angiogenesis via PPARγ, which can be used in the study of diabetes.

TIE-2 VEGFR-2 kinase-IN-5 (TIE-2 and VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase receptor inhibitor) is a potent agent with anti-angiogenic activity, commonly used in biomedical research focused on angiogenesis.

Oltipraz (RP 35972) is a synthetic dithiolethione with potential chemopreventive and anti-angiogenic properties. Oltipraz induces phase II detoxification enzymes, such as glutathione S transferase (GST) and NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1). The induction of detoxification enzymes enhances the detoxification of certain cancer-causing agents, thereby enhancing their elimination and preventing carcinogen-induced DNA damages. Although the exact mechanism through which the anti-angiogenesis effect remains to be fully elucidated, oltipraz maybe able to modulate the expression of a number of angiogenic factors, thereby blocking the sustained and focal neovascularization in multiple tumor cell types.

Rofecoxib (MK 966) binds to and inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), resulting in an inhibition of the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. Rofecoxib is a synthetic, nonsteroidal derivative of phenyl-furanone with anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic properties and potential antineoplastic properties. COX-related metabolic pathways may represent key regulators of cell proliferation and neo-angiogenesis. Some epithelial tumor cell types overexpress pro-angiogenic COX-2.

Ibuprofen (Advil) is a propionic acid derivate and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects. Ibuprofen inhibits the activity of cyclo-oxygenase I and II, resulting in a decreased formation of precursors of prostaglandins and thromboxanes.

Etoricoxib (MK-663) is a synthetic, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with antipyretic, analgesic, and potential antineoplastic properties. Etoricoxib specifically binds to and inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), resulting in inhibition of the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. Inhibition of COX-2 may induce apoptosis and inhibit tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis.

Rac-Belinostat (PX-105684) is a novel hydroxamic acid-type histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor with antineoplastic activity. Belinostat targets HDAC enzymes, thereby inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, inducing apoptosis, promoting cellular differentiation, and inhibiting angiogenesis. This agent may sensitize drug-resistant tumor cells to other antineoplastic agents, possibly through a mechanism involving the down-regulation of thymidylate synthase.
