Description
NVP-BHG712 is an orally active selective inhibitor of EphB4, which plays a significant role in vessel development, vascular development, and tumor angiogenesis. This compound exhibits anticancer chemotherapeutic and anti-angiogenic activity, inhibiting EphB4 autophosphorylation and VEGF-induced angiogenesis.
