Synonyms: CA4DP | combretastatin A4 phosphate | fosbretabulin disodium | fosbretabulin tromethamine | Zybrestat (fosbretabulin disodium)
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Fosbretabulin is being investigated for anti-tumour potential. It interferes with vascularisation by preventing tubulin-polymerisation and disrupting cell junctions [2]. This action destroys tumour vasculature and leads to cancer cell death and necrosis. Mechanistically, fosbretabulin is dephosphorylated to the active tubulin polymerisation inhibitor combretastatin A4 [3]. The compound was originally isolated from the African bush willow (Combretum caffrum) [1,5].
