ated, "We continue to make good progress on our tubulin inhibitor program. The results of these studies will help us to further identify a lead molecule for evaluation in additional tumor models. ENMD-1420 and multiple compounds of a similar class are licensed exclusively from Celgene Corporation for development in oncology. These compounds have proven to be potent inhibitors of tumor growth and have both antiproliferative and antiangiogenic activities. We continue to evaluate ENMD-1420 and related compounds with the goal of identifying a lead molecule within the next twelve months."

About Tubulin Inhibitors

Tubulins are the proteins that form microtubules, which are key components of the cellular cytoskeleton (structural network). Microtubules are necessary for cell division (mitosis), cell structure, transport, signaling and motility. Given their primary role in cell division, microtubules have been an important target for anticancer drugs -- often referred to as tubulin inhibitors or microtubule targeting agents. These compounds bind to tubulin protein, either in the monomer form or polymerized in microtubules, and prevent cancer cell proliferation by interfering with the microtubule dynamics required for cell division. This interference blocks the cell cycle sequence, leading to cell death (apoptosis).
