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 |
