Preferred Label : Combretastatin;

NCIt synonyms : 3-Hydroxy-4-methoxy-alpha-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)benzeneethanol;

NCIt related terms : Combretastatin, ( -);

NCIt definition : A stilbenoid phenol, originally isolated from the bark of the African bush willow tree Combretum caffrum, with vascular disrupting and antineoplastic activities. Combretastatin targets and binds to the colchicine-binding site of tubulin, thereby impairs the polymerization of tubulin dimers and prevents the formation of microtubules in the endothelial cells of tumor. As a result, this may eventually lead to a destruction of the tumor vasculature, disruption of tumor blood flow and tumor cell necrosis.;
