How CYT997 works
CYT997 is a vascular disrupting agent and a tubulin inhibitor for various cancers. The essential role of microtubules in cell division and the capacity of drugs that interact with the protein subunits of microtubules (α- and β-tubulin) to interfere with the cell cycle, have made tubulin a highly successful target for the development of therapeutic drugs, such as anti-cancer drugs and vascular disrupting agents.
