NCIt definition : A benzofuran-based vascular disrupting agent (VDA) prodrug with potential anti-vascular
and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration vascular disrupting agent BNC105P,
the disodium phosphate ester of BNC105, is rapidly converted to BNC105; in activated
endothelial cells, BNC105 binds to tubulin and inhibits its polymerization, which
may result in a blockage of mitotic spindle formation, cell cycle arrest, and disruption
of the tumor vasculature. Hypoxic conditions ensue, depriving tumor cells of nutrients
and resulting in tumor cell apoptosis. In addition to its VDA activity, this agent
has a direct cytotoxic effect on tumor cells by inhibiting tubulin polymerization.
BNC105 is not a substrate for the multidrug-resistance P-glycoprotein (Pgp) transporter.;
