NCIt definition : A small molecule tubulin polymerization inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity.
Microtubulin inhibitor EPC2407 binds to the colchicine-binding site on beta-tubulin
and inhibits the polymerization of tubulin into microtubules, which may result in
cell cycle arrest, the induction of apoptosis, and the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation.
As a vascular disruption agent (VDA), this agent also disrupts tumor neovascularization,
which may result in a reduction in tumor blood flow and tumor hypoxia and ischemic
necrosis.;
