Description

Crolibulin is a tubulin-disrupting agent, interacting at the colchicine-binding site, developed by EpiCept Corporation (which was later acquired by Immune Pharmaceuticals). The compound exhibits anti-cancer effect by vascular disruption and inhibition of apoptosis. In preclinical animal tumor models, combination therapy with crolibulin has demonstrated the synergistic activity with cytotoxic drugs as well as anti-angiogenic drugs, such as Avastin. The drug was investigated in clinical trials for the treatment of anaplastic thyroid cancer and has demonstrated a positive effect.
