Preclinical validation of the small molecule drug quininib as a novel therapeutic for colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer deaths. Molecularly targeted therapies ( e.g . bevacizumab) have improved survival rates but drug resistance ultimately develops and newer therapies are required. We identified quininib as a small molecule drug with anti-angiogenic activity using...

Zusammenfassung:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer deaths. Molecularly targeted therapies ( e.g . bevacizumab) have improved survival rates but drug resistance ultimately develops and newer therapies are required. We identified quininib as a small molecule drug with anti-angiogenic activity using in vitro , ex vivo and in vivo screening models. Quininib (2-[( E )-2-(Quinolin-2-yl) vinyl] phenol), is a small molecule drug (molecular weight 283.75 g/mol), which significantly inhibited blood vessel development in zebrafish embryos (p
