DAT-230, a novel microtubule inhibitor, exhibits potent anti-tumor activity by inducing G2/M phase arrest, apoptosis in vitro and perfusion decrease in vivo to HT-1080

摘要

Purpose The anti-mitotic agent, combretastatin A-4 (CA-4), is the lead compound of a new class of anti-cancer drugs that target tumor vasculature. 2-Methoxy-5-(2-(3, 4, 5-trimethoxyphenyl) thiophen-3-yl) aniline (DAT-230) is a structurally novel CA-4 analog with more stability. We investigated its anti-tumor activity and mechanisms in vitro and in vivo for the first time.
