General description

5,6-dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid (DMXAA) is a flavone acetic acid derivative.[1] It acts as a vascular disrupting agent (VDA), which damages tumor vasculature and stimulates an anti-tumor immune response.[2] It stimulates hemorrhagic necrosis.[1]

Application

5,6-dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid (DMXAA) has been used to induce type-I IFN signaling in a stimulator of interferon genes (STING) dependent manner.[3][4] It has also been used to study STING-dependent signaling in the absence of infection.[5]

Biochem/physiol Actions

DMXAA is an apoptosis inducer; anti-vascular.

Clinical lung cancer, 14(1), 34-39 (2012-05-29)
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly vascularized tumor. ASA404 is a tumor vascular disrupting agent. This is the first trial to report the effects of combining chemotherapy with ASA404 in SCLC. Patients with untreated metastatic SCLC were treated with

Expert opinion on investigational drugs, 17(1), 23-29 (2007-12-22)
5,6-Dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid (DMXAA) is a vascular disrupting agent that has demonstrated efficacy in combination with taxane-based chemotherapy in patients with advanced cancer. Complementary modes of action, a lack of pharmacokinetic interaction and distinct adverse effect profiles provide a strong rationale

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) subdue immune responses. Central to Treg activation are changes in lipid metabolism that support their survival and function. Fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) are a family of lipid chaperones required to facilitate uptake and intracellular lipid trafficking.

Detection of cytoplasmic DNA by the host's innate immune system is essential for microbial and endogenous pathogen recognition. In mammalian cells, an important sensor is the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) protein, which upon activation by bacterially-derived cyclic dinucleotides (cDNs)

The vascular endothelium of tumour tissue, which differs in several ways from that of normal tissues, is a potential target for selective anticancer therapy. By contrast with antiangiogenic agents, antivascular agents target the endothelial cells of existing tumour blood vessels
