Item OT-404, multi-targeted anti-cancer agent affecting tumor proliferation, chemo-resistance, and angiogenesis(Elsevier, 2013-05) Rebbaa, Abdelhadi; Patil, Ghanshyam; Sudha, Thangirala; Mousa, Shaker A.; Yalçın, Murat; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veterinerlik Fakültesi/Veteriner Hekimliği Temel Bilimler Bölümü.; 0000-0002-5600-8162; AAG-6956-2021; 57192959734There is a need for a comprehensive anti-cancer strategy that simultaneously targets abnormal proliferation, angiogenesis rates, and development of chemotherapy resistance. We have identified a small molecule, OT-404, that effectively inhibited proliferation and angiogenesis of either chemo-sensitive or resistant human cancer cells and enhanced cancer cell sensitivity to different chemotherapy. In vivo studies of human tumor xenografts in nude mice showed that OT-404, used alone or encapsulated into nanoparticles, inhibited the growth of doxorubicin-resistant breast cancer MCF-7 by more than 80%, and by 95% when combined with doxorubicin. These findings provide evidence for the potential of OT-404 in cancer management.
