Used primarily in cancer treatment, particularly in clinical research for solid tumors such as neuroendocrine tumors and ovarian cancer. It functions as a vascular disrupting agent, meaning it targets and collapses the blood vessels that supply tumors, leading to tumor cell death due to lack of oxygen and nutrients. Often studied in combination with other therapies like chemotherapy or immunotherapy to enhance effectiveness. Its ability to rapidly disrupt tumor vasculature makes it a candidate for use in advanced or resistant cancers where conventional treatments have limited success.
