NCIt related terms : PI-88;
NCIt definition : A mixture of highly sulfated, monophosphorylated mannose oligosaccharides, derived
from the extracellular phosphomannan of the yeast Pichia (Hansenula) holstii, with
potential antiangiogenic activity. Muparfostat inhibits the endo-beta-D-glucuronidase
heparanase, which may interfere with the heparanase-mediated degradation of heparan-sulfate
proteoglycans in extracellular matrices, an important step in the metastatic process.
This agent may also bind with high affinity to the heparan sulfate-binding domains
of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factors 1 and 2,
thereby reducing their functional activities and inhibiting VEGF and FGF stimulation
of tumor angiogenesis. Increased heparanase activity has been implicated in tumor
angiogenesis and metastasis.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance that is being studied in the treatment of cancer. It belongs
to the family of drugs called antiangiogenesis agents.;
