Verteporfin (BPD-MA) is a YAP inhibitor that inhibits YAP-TEAD interactions. Verteporfin is also a photosensitizer used in photodynamic therapy. Verteporfin also induces apoptosis and inhibits autophagy.

Auristatin F is an effective inhibitor of microtubule and vascular damaging agent. Auristatin F can be used in antibody-drug conjugates.

Vadimezan (DMXAA) is a vascular disrupting agent, a murine STING agonist, and an inducer of cytokines such as type I IFN. Vadimezan has antitumor activity and induces a rapid cessation of blood flow in tumors without affecting blood flow in normal tissues.

Valecobulin hydrochloride (CKD-516 hydrochloride) is the valine prodrug and vasoblocker of S516. Valecobulin hydrochloride (CKD-516 hydrochloride) has a potent inhibitory effect on β-tubulin polymerization and has significant anti-tumor activity against solid tumors in mice and humans.

BNC105P is a benzo[b]furan-based vascular disrupting agent (VDA) prodrug with potential anti-vascular and anti-tumor effects. Upon administration, BNC105P, in its disodium phosphate form, rapidly converts to BNC105. In activated endothelial cells, BNC105 binds to tubulin and inhibits its polymerization, which may block spindle formation, cause cell cycle arrest, and dismantle the tumor vasculature. This creates a hypoxic environment, depriving tumor cells of nutrients, leading to apoptosis. Apart from its VDA activity, BNC105P also exerts direct cytotoxic effects on tumor cells by inhibiting tubulin polymerization. Notably, BNC105 is not a substrate for the multidrug-resistant P-glycoprotein (Pgp) transporter.

Plinabulin (NPI-2358) (NPI-2358) is a vascular disrupting agent (VDA) against tubulin-depolymerizing tumor cells ( IC50: 9.8-18 nM). Plinabulin selectively targets and binds to the colchicine-binding site of tubulin, thereby interrupting equilibrium of microtubule dynamics. This disrupts mitotic spindle assembly leading to cell cycle arrest at M phase and blockage of cell division.

BNC105P is a benzofuran-based vascular disrupting agent (VDA) prodrug with potential anti-vascular and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration vascular disrupting agent BNC105P, the disodium phosphate ester of BNC105, is rapidly converted to BNC105; in activated endothelial cells, BNC105 binds to tubulin and inhibits its polymerization, which may result in a blockage of mitotic spindle formation, cell cycle arrest, and disruption of the tumor vasculature. Hypoxic conditions ensue, depriving tumor cells of nutrients and resulting in tumor cell apoptosis. In addition to its VDA activity, this agent has a direct cytotoxic effect on tumor cells by inhibiting tubulin polymerization. BNC105 is not a substrate for the multidrug-resistance P-glycoprotein (Pgp) transporter.
