ABT-510
Also known as: ABT-510, thrombospondin mimetic, TSP-1 mimetic peptide
Summary
ABT-510 is a nonapeptide analogue of the antiangiogenic domain of thrombospondin-1. It was investigated as an antiangiogenic anticancer agent in multiple Phase I and Phase II clinical trials. It demonstrated acceptable tolerability but limited single-agent efficacy in various solid tumors, and clinical development was largely discontinued.
Mechanism of Action
Mimics the antiangiogenic domain of thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1); binds CD36 on endothelial cells, inhibiting VEGF-induced endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation, thereby suppressing tumor angiogenesis and inducing endothelial cell apoptosis.
