Abstract
We designed and synthesized the antiangiogenic arginine-rich dendrimers, TX-1943 and TX-1944, which mimic the surface structure of endostatin. TX-1944 containing 16 arginine residues is more similar in surface structure to endostatin than TX-1943 with eight arginine residues, and has stronger in vivo antiangiogenic activity at 10 microg/CAM in the chicken embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay. TX-1944 also has stronger activity to bind heparin and to inhibit the growth of rat lung endothelial (RLE) cells than TX-1943.Entities:
