Fumarranol, a rearranged fumagillin analogue that inhibits angiogenesis in vivo JOURNAL OF MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY Lu, J., Chong, C. R., Hu, X., Liu, J. O. 2006; 49 (19): 5645–48

Abstract

The fumagillin family of natural products inhibits angiogenesis through the irreversible inhibition of the type 2 methionine aminopeptidase (MetAP2). Herein is reported a novel fumagillin analogue named fumarranol. It is shown that, like fumagillin, fumarranol selectively inhibits MetAP2 and endothelial cell proliferation. It is also active in a mouse model of angiogenesis in vivo. Unlike TNP-470, fumarranol does not covalently bind to MetAP2. Fumarranol may serve as a lead for a new class of angiogenesis inhibitors.
