NCIt definition : A quinoline-3-carboxamide with potential antineoplastic activity. Roquinimex inhibits
endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and basement membrane invasion; reduces
the secretion of the angiogenic factor tumor necrosis factor alpha by tumor-associated
macrophages (TAMs); and inhibits angiogenesis. This agent is also an immune modulator
that appears to alter cytokine profiles and enhance the activity of T cells, natural
killer cells, and macrophages. (NCI04);
