emd-121974

Cilengitide (EMD 121974) is a potent integrin inhibitor for the αvβ3 5 receptor (IC50: 4.1 79 nM, in cell-free assays) with approximately 10-fold selectivity against gpIIbIIIa.

Cilengitide hydrochloride sis the salt form of Cilengitide, a cyclic Arg-Gly-Asp peptide with potential antineoplastic activity. Cilengitide binds to and inhibits the activities of the alpha(v)beta(3) and alpha(v)beta(5) integrins, thereby inhibiting endothelial cell-cell interactions, endothelial cell-matrix interactions, and angiogenesis.

Cilengitide is a potent integrin inhibitor for αvβ3 receptor and αvβ5 receptor with IC50 of 4.1 nM and 79 nM in cell-free assays, respectively; ~10-fold selectivity against gpIIbIIIa. Phase 2.
