Exherin

* Please kindly note that our products are not to be used for therapeutic purposes and cannot be sold to patients.

Exherin, also known as ADH-1, is a small, cyclic pentapeptide vascular-targeting agent with potential antineoplastic and antiangiogenic activities. ADH-1 selectively and competitively binds to and blocks N-cadherin, which may result in disruption of tumor vasculature, inhibition of tumor cell growth, and the induction of tumor cell and endothelial cell apoptosis. N-cadherin, a cell- surface transmembrane glycoprotein of the cadherin superfamily of proteins involved in calcium-mediated cell-cell adhesion and signaling mechanisms; may be upregulated in some aggressive tumors and the endothelial cells and pericytes of some tumor blood vessels.

1.Phase I clinical trial of Exherin (ADH-1) in patients with advanced solid tumors.
Yarom N1, Stewart D, Malik R, Wells J, Avruch L, Jonker DJ. Curr Clin Pharmacol. 2013 Feb 1;8(1):81-8.
ADH-1 (Exherin™) is a pentapeptide, which competitively inhibits N-cadherin, resulting in vascular disruptive effect of tumor vasculature in preclinical models. This study was designed to assess the toxicity of ADH-1 and to determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD).
2.Clinical and pharmacological phase I evaluation of Exherin (ADH-1), a selective anti-N-cadherin peptide in patients with N-cadherin-expressing solid tumours.

BACKGROUND: Upregulation of N-cadherin promotes dysregulated cell growth, motility, invasiveness, plus maintenance of vascular stability and is associated with cancer progression in several human tumour types. N-cadherin is expressed also on tumour cells and the anti-N-cadherin cyclic pentapeptide ADH-1, tested in the present study, can exert a direct antitumour effect.
