NCIt related terms : SODIUM STIBOGLUCONATE ANHYDROUS; SSG;
NCIt definition : Pentavalent antimony (Sb) in differential complex formation with gluconic acid with
leishmanicidal and potential antineoplastic activities. The Sb moiety of sodium stibogluconate
(SSG) may inhibit protein tyrosine phosphorylases (PTPases) by covalently modifying
sulfhydryl groups in PTPase cysteine residues, resulting in specific inactivation
of SH2 domain-containing tyrosine phosphatases-1 and -2 (SHP-1 and SHP-2), PTPases
which negatively regulate interferon (IFN) signaling; enhancement of IFN-induced Stat1
tyrosine phosphorylation; and induction of cellular protein tyrosine phosphorylation.
SSG in combination with IFN-alpha may synergize to overcome tumor cell resistance
to IFN-alpha-mediated apoptosis.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance being studied in the treatment of certain solid tumors, lymphoma,
and myeloma. Sodium stibogluconate may block enzymes needed for cancer growth. It
is a type of pentavalent antimonial.;
