J Neurochem. 2007 Sep;102(6):1831-41. Epub 2007 May 26.


Despite 2-methoxyestradiol (2ME2) and tricyclodecan-9-yl-xanthogenate (D609) having multiple effects on cancer cells, mechanistically, both of them down-regulate hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Recent studies in neonatal rodent stroke models suggest that recovery is due in part to upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1-a and its downstream target, vascular endothelial growth factor.

This may at least in part be attributed to the high vascular endothelial growth factor levels present in the peritoneal cavity of the diseased mice.
The current study was designed to find the pharmacokinetics of the drug and its major metabolites albendazole sulfoxide (ABZSO) and albendazole sulfone (ABZSO (2)) in an experimental model of ovarian cancer.
