Review of the Studies Combining Antiangiogenic Approaches With TMZ Treatment in GBM Models.

Compound Properties Model Graft Effects References
TNP-470 Inactivates MetAP2 resulting in endothelial cell cycle arrest; antiangiogenic Rat C6 s.c. ↓ TMZ concentrations in the tumor interstitial fluid [47]
↓ of microvessels
Human SF188 [VEGF-] and transfected VEGF + s.c. and i.c. ↓ TMZ tumor concentrations [48]
↓ TMZ tumor/plasma ratio in both s.c. and i.c. models
↓ of microvessels [only in VEGF +]
SU-5416 VEGFR-2 inhibitor antiangiogenic Human SF188 transfected VEGF + s.c. and i.c. ↑ TMZ tumor/plasma ratio only in i.c. models and not s.c. [49]
↓ of microvessels
Thalidomide [THD] Immunomodulator [↓ TNF-α] sedative, hypnotic antiangiogenic Rat C6 i.c. THD +TMZ tumor growth <TMZ or THD with ↑ apoptosis, ↓ bFGF and VEGF by TMZ or THD [18]
HIF-1α knockdown Antiangiogenic Human D54MG s.c. ↑ TMZ therapeutic benefit [46]
↑ cytotoxic effects of TMZ in vitro under hypoxia
Vandetanib Anti-Tyr kinases VEGFR-2 and EGFR; antiangiogenic Human E98 and U87 i.c. ↓ TMZ therapeutic benefit, restore the BBB [50]
↓ TMZ-induced apoptosis
Sunitinib Anti-Tyr kinases [VEGFR1 VEGFR3, PDGFR, stem cell factor receptor…]; antiangiogenic Human SF188 transfected VEGF + s.c. ↑ TMZ tumor/plasma ratio vascular normalization [51]
Galectin-1 siRNA Decreases the unfolded protein response, impairs VEGF maturation and secretion Human Hs683 i.c. ↑ TMZ therapeutic benefit [24]
