ATN-161 is a non-RGD based integrin binding peptide targeting alpha-5 beta-1 and alpha-v beta-3. It inhibits the migration and adhesion of particular integrins on activated endothelial cells that play a critical role in tumor angiogenesis. This approach targeting both the tumor vasculature and the cancer cells themselves, may be effective in single therapy as well as combination therapy. Since the expression of alpha(5)beta(1) integrin by cancer cells and the role of this molecule in tumor angiogenesis is similar across a range of different cancers, the therapeutic benefit of ATN-161 is expected to extend to a variety of cancers.

ATN-161 is a non-RGD based integrin binding peptide targeting alpha-5 beta-1 and alpha-v beta-3. It inhibits the migration and adhesion of particular integrins on activated endothelial cells that play a critical role in tumor angiogenesis. Beta integrins, including beta(1), beta(3) and beta(5) subtypes, are present on endothelial cells and mediate endothelial cell-extracellular matrix interactions. Of particular interest to cancer progression is integrin alpha(5)beta(1) which is expressed on activated endothelial cells and plays a critical role in tumor angiogenesis. Likewise alpha(5)beta(1) integrin is also present on many tumor cells where is plays a key role in adhesion and migration and hence blocking this integrin can affect tumor progression both directly and also indirectly through the prevention of angiogenesis.
Investigated for use/treatment in brain cancer and cancer/tumors (unspecified).
