Fosbretabulin disodium (Combretastatin A-4 phosphate disodium, CA4P disodium) is the water-soluble prodrug of combretastatin A4 (CA4), which is originally isolated from African tree Combretum caffrum. CA4 is a tubulin-binding agent that binds at or near the colchicine binding site of β-tubulin (Kd = 0.40 μM), inhibits tubulin assembly with IC50 of 2.4 μM. [1] CA4 is cytotoxic towards proliferating but not quiescent endothelial cells, has potent and selective toxicity towards tumor vasculature. [2] CA4P (1 mM, 30 minutes) disrupts the endothelial microtubule cytoskeleton and mediates changes in endothelial cell morphology. CA4P stimulates actin stress fiber formation and membrane blebbing and increases monolayer permeability via Rho/Rho-kinase. [3] CA4P increases endothelial cell permeability, while inhibiting endothelial cell migration and capillary tube formation predominantly through disruption of VE-cadherin/β-catenin/Akt signaling pathway, thereby leading to rapid vascular collapse and tumor necrosis.

| In vivo | CA4P causes rapid, extensive and irreversible vascular shutdown in experimental tumor models following the administration of a single dose at 10% of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). CA4P causes a 93% reduction in vascular volume 6 h following drug administration. [2] CA4P(100 mg/kg, 6 h following administration) reduces tumor blood by approximately 100-fold, compared with approximately 7-fold in the spleen. [5] |
Protocol
| Kinase Assay: |
+ Expand
Tubulin assembly-disassembly: The assembly of microtubules from isolated tubulin is carried out spectrophotometrically at 350 nm and utilises the increase in turbidity which is associated with microtubule formation. Assembly is initiated by temperature increase from 10 to 35 °C. The effect of drugs on the increase in light absorption is carried. Drugs are dissolved in DMSO (<4%), which does not affect control assembly |

Bio Calculators
Molarity Calculator
Calculate the mass, volume or concentration required for a solution. The Selleck molarity calculator is based on the following equation:
Mass (g) = Concentration (mol/L) × Volume (L) × Molecular Weight (g/mol)
*When preparing stock solutions, please always use the batch-specific molecular weight of the product found on the via label and MSDS / COA (available on product pages).
Dilution Calculator
Calculate the dilution required to prepare a stock solution. The Selleck dilution calculator is based on the following equation:
Concentration (start) x Volume (start) = Concentration (final) x Volume (final)
This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2 ( Input Output )
* When preparing stock solutions always use the batch-specific molecular weight of the product found on the vial label and MSDS / COA (available online).

Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
Molecular mass (molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
