A pharmacological agent and method for treatment of
cancer and vascular-related disorders of
skin and colon are described. The pharmacological agent, which is a
small molecule that targets and inhibits both RhoJ and CDC42 signaling, demonstrates potent anti-vascular effects in
normal skin, colon, and tumors, combined with
low toxicity, especially as compared to BRAF inhibitors (such as, vemurafenib used in
melanoma treatments), selective CDC42 inhibitors (such as CASIN), and VEGF inhibitors (known as anti-vascular agents, such as, for example, linifanib). As such, the pharmacological agent is particularly suited for applications related to treating
cancer, as well as disorders of the
skin and colon that exhibit increased vasculature.
