Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of anginex on tumour angiogenesis assessed by dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) on a clinical 1.5 Tesla MR system and with the clinically available contrast agent gadopentetate dimeglumine. C57BL/6 mice carrying B16F10 melanomas were treated with anginex, TNP-470 or saline. Tumour growth curves and microvessel density (MVD) were recorded to establish the effects of treatment. DCE-MRI was performed on day 16 after tumour inoculation, and the endothelial transfer coefficients of the microvessel permeability surface-area product (KPS) were calculated using a two-compartment model. Both anginex and TNP-470 resulted in smaller tumour volumes (P
