vascularization

Mecamylamine hydrochloride (Mevasin) is a nicotinic antagonist, used as a ganglionic blocker in hypertension.

Ned 19, a selective membrane-permeant non-competitive antagonist of NAADP, strongly inhibits tumor growth, vascularization, and lung metastases in mice.

Avitinib (AC0010), also known as AC0010 or AC0010MA, is an orally available, irreversible, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant-selective inhibitor, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, avitinib covalently binds to and inhibits the activity of mutant forms of EGFR, including the drug-resistant T790M EGFR mutant, which prevents signaling mediated by mutant forms of EGFR. This may both induce cell death and inhibit tumor growth in EGFR-mutated tumor cells. EGFR, a receptor tyrosine kinase that is mutated in a variety of Ys, plays a key role in tumor cell proliferation and tumor vascularization. As this agent is selective towards mutant forms of EGFR, its toxicity profile may be reduced when compared to non-selective EGFR inhibitors, which also inhibit wild-type EGFR.

Bevasiranib, a siRNA, is specifically engineered to suppress the expression of genes responsible for the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a critical factor in the development of choroidal neo-vascularization (CNV), which precedes wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD).

Bevasiranib sodium, an siRNA compound, targets and silences the genes responsible for producing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The suppression of VEGF, a critical factor in the development of choroidal neo-vascularization (CNV), aims to thwart the progression to wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD).

QLT0267 is an inhibitor targeting integrin-linked kinase (ILK; IC50= 26 nM), showing over 10-fold selectivity against cyclin-dependent kinases 1, 2, and 5 (Cdk1, Cdk2, and Cdk5), and over 1,000-fold selectivity against C-terminal Src kinase (CSK), DNA-PK, Pim-1, Akt, PKC, and casein kinase 2 (CK2) at a concentration of 10 mg/ml. This compound effectively inhibits the proliferation of NPA187 papillary thyroid cancer cells with an IC50 of approximately 3 µM and induces apoptosis in NPA187, DRO, and K4 cancer cell lines. In vivo studies reveal that QLT0267, administered at 100 mg/kg, significantly reduces tumor growth in a DRO mouse xenograft model and diminishes both tumor volume and intratumoral vascularization in a U87MG glioblastoma mouse xenograft model, showcasing its potential for therapeutic applications in cancer treatment.
