l  Biological Information

Biochem/Physiol  Actions

Plinabulin is an orally active diketopiperazine derivative with potential antineoplastic activity. Plinabulin  selectively targets and binds to the colchicine-binding site of tubulin, thereby interrupting equilibrium of microtubule dynamics. This disrupts mitotic spindle assembly leading to cell cycle arrest at M phase and blockage of cell division. In addition, plinabulin may also inhibit growth of proliferating vascular endothelial cells, thereby disrupting the function of tumor vasculature that further ontributes to a decrease in tumor cell proliferation.

Plinabulin (NPI-2358) is a vascular disrupting agent (VDA) against tubulin-depolymerizing with IC50 of 9.8~18 nM in tumor cells.
