Documented Uses

• Investigated for use/treatment in solid tumors, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, and prostate cancer.
• Substances that inhibit or prevent the proliferation of NEOPLASMS.
• DMXAA has known human metabolites that include (2S,3S,4S,5R)-6-[2-(5,6-dimethyl-9-oxoxanthen-4-yl)acetyl]oxy-3,4,5-trihydroxyoxane-2-carboxylic acid and 6-hydroxy-MXAA.
• ASA404 (DMXAA) is a small-molecule vascular disrupting agent which targets the blood vessels that nourish tumours. The proposed mechanism of action for ASA404 is directly increasing permeability of the tumor's endothelial cells. Vasoactive mediators such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) may also be implicated. Increased permeability of tumor cell vasculature may allow increased permeation of anticancer treatments such as cytotoxic drugs, antibodies, drug conjugates and gene therapy.
