Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3086618/pdf/thnov01p0154.pdf

Cilengitide is a cyclized Arg-Gly-Glu (RGD)-containing pentapeptide that selectively blocks activation of the αvβ3 and αvβ5 integrins. Its precursor was first synthesized in 1995 as c(RGDfV), and later modified by the incorporation of N-methyl Val c(RGDfMetV), generating the current form of the drug. Cilengitide displays subnanomolar antagonistic activity for αvβ3 and αvβ5, and is the first integrin antagonist evaluated in clinical phase I and II trials for treatment of glioblastoma and several other tumor types. Cilengitide-induced glioma cell death and inhibition of blood vessel formation may use different molecular mechanisms, including regulation of tumor hypoxia and activation of apoptotic pathways. Cilengitide inhibits cell signaling through FAK-Src-Akt and Erk mediated pathways in endothelial and tumor cells and attenuates the effect of VEGF stimulation on growth factor signaling. Cilengitide has shown encouraging activity in patients with glioblastoma as single agent, and in association with standard RT and temozolomide.
