Preferred Label : Combretastatin A-1;
NCIt synonyms : CA1; Combretastatin A1; 1,2-Benzenediol, 3-Methoxy-6-(2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)ethenyl)-, (Z)-;
NCIt definition : A stilbenoid originally isolated from the plant Combretum caffrum, with vascular-disrupting
and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, combretastatin A1 (CA1) promotes
rapid microtubule depolymerization; endothelial cell mitotic arrest and apoptosis;
destruction of the tumor vasculature; disruption of tumor blood flow; and tumor cell
necrosis. In addition, orthoquinone intermediates, metabolized from combretastatin
A1 by oxidative enzymes found to be elevated in some tumor types, may bind to tumor
cell thiol-specific antioxidant proteins and DNA, and stimulate oxidative stress by
enhancing superoxide/hydrogen peroxide production.;
