Product Data
Biological target:
Razoxane is clinically active against angiogenesis and metastasis. Razoxane specifically inhibits topoisomerase II without inducing DNA strand breaks (topo II catalytic inhibitor). It is an antimitotic agent with immunosuppressive properties. Razoxane inhibits blood-borne and lymphatic metastases in different experimental models. Studies have shown that razoxane inhibits specifically the vasculogenic mimicry of B16F10 melanoma cells.
In vitro activity:
Immunolabeling with Crest autoimmune sera, which recognizes centromere proteins, and with MPM-2 monoclonal antibody, which recognizes mitotic phosphoproteins, indicated that the centromeres of the chromosomes assembled a normal metaphase array in the presence of ICRF-187 and Razoxane. Reference: Cancer Res. 1994 Feb 15;54(4):1042-8. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8313360/
In vivo activity:
Razoxane is an antiangiogenic agent that has minimal toxicity and that requires further evaluation in combination with other active agents in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma. Clin Cancer Res. 2000 Dec;6(12):4697-704. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11156222/
