NCI Thesaurus | GW786034

A multifunctional antiangiogenic agent derived from shark cartilage with potential antineoplastic activity. Neovastat competitively inhibits the binding of pro-angiogenic vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to its cell receptor, thereby inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation. This agent also inhibits matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), stimulates tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), and activates caspase-mediated apoptotic pathways in endothelial cells.NCI Thesaurus | GW786034
