CKD-516

Valecobulin hydrochloride (CKD-516 hydrochloride) is a valine prodrug of S516 (HY-130233) and a vascular disrupting agent (VDA). Valecobulin hydrochloride is a potent β-tubulin polymerization inhibitor with marked antitumor activity against murine and human solid tumors[1][2].

β-tubulin polymerization[1]

Valecobulin (5 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; administered on days 2, 6, 10, and 14; male BALB/C nu/nu mice) treatment shows markedly antitumor efficacy in various human tumor xenograft models[1]. Animal Model: Male BALB/C nu/nu mice (5-6 weeks of age) with HCT-116 or HCT-15 cells[1] Dosage: 5 mg/kg Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; administered on days 2, 6, 10, and 14 Result: Had shown marked antitumor efficacy in various human tumor xenograft models.
