Vascular disrupting agents: a novel mechanism of action in the battle against non-small cell lung cancer.
    The oncologist, 2009, Volume: 14, Issue:6

    Targeting vasculature, essential in oxygen and nutrient supply, represents a new frontier in the treatment of cancer. Apart from angiogenesis inhibitors that compromise the formation of new blood vessels, a second class of vascular disrupting agents (VDAs) targets endothelial cells and pericytes of the already established tumor vasculature, resulting in tumor ischemia and necrosis. VDAs have been divided into two types: ligand-directed VDAs and small molecules. Ligand-directed VDAs consist of targeting and effector moieties that are linked together. Their clinical efficacy appears limited because of cost and a lack of specificity and toxicity. Small molecules include two classes: the synthetic flavonoids, which work through induction of local cytokine production, and the tubulin-binding agents. The aim of this review is to discuss the hypothesized molecular mechanisms of action of VDAs and their early preclinical and clinical results, emphasizing ASA404, combretastatin A-4 disodium phosphate, ABT-751, and NPI-2358, reported in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, which is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, and also to discuss future developments in this cancer population.

[Tumor vasculature as a therapeutic target in non-small cell lung cancer].
    Magyar onkologia, 2008, Volume: 52, Issue:3

    Despite developments in conventional (chemo)radiotherapy and surgery, survival of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients remains poor. Treatments with targeted molecular drugs offer novel therapeutic strategies. Bevacizumab, a recombinant anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibody, is the antiangiogenic drug at the most advanced stage of development in the therapy of NSCLC. However, a number of questions and future challenges relating to the use of bevacizumab in NSCLC remain. Furthermore, novel agents targeting the pre-existing NSCLC vasculature (i.e. vascular disrupting agents, VDAs) or multiple tyrosine kinase inhibitors have emerged as unique drug classes delivering promising results in several preclinical and clinical studies. Herein, we review the most recent data using these novel targeted agents either alone or in combination with chemotherapy in NSCLC.
