abt-510

ABT-510 is synthetic peptide that mimics the anti-angiogenic activity of the endogenous protein thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1). ABT-510 inhibits the actions of several pro-angiogenic growth factors important to tumor neovascularization; these pro-angiogenic growth factors include vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and interleukin 8 (IL-8).

ABT-510 acetate is an endogenous anti-angiogenic TSP peptide inhibitor, a thrombospondin analog, with anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and anti-angiogenic activity that induces apoptosis and inhibits ovarian tumor growth in an orthotopic, syngeneic model of epithelial ovarian cancer.ABT-510 acetate reduces angiogenesis and inflammatory responses in a mouse model of inflammatory bowel disease. ABT-510 acetate reduces angiogenesis and inflammation in mouse models of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and can be used in cancer research, particularly in epithelial ovarian cancer, as well as in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
