NCIt definition : A small synthetic molecule of triazolopyrimidine derivative with potential antitumor
activity. With a novel mechanism of action distinct from the action of other vinca
alkaloid compounds, TTI-237 specifically binds to tubulin at the vinca site, and promotes
the polymerization of tubulin into microtubules. TTI-237 stabilizes tubulin and inhibits
microtubule disassembly. This results in cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase, and
leading to cell death.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance that is being studied in the treatment of cancer. It belongs
to the family of drugs called mitotic inhibitors.;
