Synergistic Anticancer Effects of Cisplatin Combined with Combretastatin A4 Phosphate on Human Osteosarcoma-Xenografted Mice.
This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of anticancer therapy combining a cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agent, cisplatin (DDP), and a vascular disruptive drug, combretastatin A4 phosphate (CA4P), in osteosarcoma. First, a human osteosarcoma-xenografted mice model was established. Second, the transplanted tumor models were treated with DDP and CA4P in combination or as monotherapy. Third, the therapeutic effects and the mechanism of the drug combination in the inhibition of transplanted tumors was studied. Finally, the toxic effects of the drugs were observed and recorded. The results showed that DDP combined with CA4P significantly inhibited the growth and lung metastasis of transplanted tumors compared with the monotherapy drug group and vehicle control group. Histopathological analysis revealed that apoptotic and necrotic cell death significantly increased in the combination group, and combined treatment significantly inhibited the proliferation of osteosarcoma cells compared with either agent alone or the vehicle control. Additionally, no obvious toxic effects were observed in the combination group. These results indicate that the combined effects of DDP and CA4P on the progression of human osteosarcoma in vivo were superior to that of either agent alone. DDP combined with CA4P exerted synergistic effects at lower concentrations and promoted apoptosis and necrosis, as well as inhibited proliferation of osteosarcoma cells, but it did not increase the systemic toxic effects of chemotherapy. Our findings highlight CA4P as an effective anticancer agent candidate for combination with DDP in clinical applications to treat osteosarcoma.

Endostar enhances the antineoplastic effects of combretastatin A4 phosphate in an osteosarcoma xenograft.
Vascular-targeting agents (VTAs) can be divided into two groups: anti-angiogenesis agents and vascular disrupting agents (VDAs). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antineoplastic activity of a combination of the anti-angiogenesis agent, Endostar, and the VDA combretastatin, A4 phosphate (CA4P). This study is the first to evaluate the activity of this combination against tumors and the first to investigate the activity of the combination against osteosarcoma. Endostar combined with CA4P had a good anti-tumor effect with no significant toxicity, and was at least not inferior to adriamycin, which is the main drug for osteosarcoma. The use of VDAs combined with anti-angiogenic drugs can result in significantly enhanced anti-tumor effects, providing a novel approach to cancer treatment, which could effectively complement standard treatments. It is believed that this exciting new treatment has the potential to transform the management of cancer.

Preclinical evaluation of vascular-disrupting agents in Ewing's sarcoma family of tumours.
The effects of the tubulin-binding vascular-disrupting agents (VDAs), combretastatin A4 phosphate (CA4P), OXi4503/CA1P and OXi8007, in subcutaneous mouse models of the Ewing's sarcoma family of tumours (ESFTs) have been investigated alone and in combination with doxorubicin. Delay in subcutaneous tumour growth was observed following treatment of mice with multiple doses of OXi4503/CA1P but not with CA4P or OXi8007. A single dose of OXi4503/CA1P caused complete shutdown of vasculature by 24h and extensive haemorrhagic necrosis by 48h. However, a viable rim of proliferating cells remained, which repopulated the tumour within 10 days following the withdrawal of treatment. Combined treatment with doxorubicin 1h prior to administration of OXi4503/CA1P enhanced the effects of OXi4503/CA1P causing a synergistic delay in tumour growth (p<0.001). This study demonstrates that OXi4503/CA1P is a potent VDA in ESFT and in combination with conventional cytotoxic agents represents a promising treatment strategy for this tumour group.
