General description

5,6-dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid (DMXAA) is a flavone acetic acid derivative. It acts as a vascular disrupting agent (VDA), which damages tumor vasculature and stimulates an anti-tumor immune response. It stimulates hemorrhagic necrosis.

Application

5,6-dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid (DMXAA) has been used to induce type-I IFN signaling in a stimulator of interferon genes (STING) dependent manner. It has also been used to study STING-dependent signaling in the absence of infection.

Biochem/physiol Actions

DMXAA is an apoptosis inducer; anti-vascular.

The small molecule anti-tumor agent, 5,6-dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid (DMXAA, now called Vadimezan) is a potent macrophage and dendritic cell activating agent that, in the murine system, results in the release of large amounts of cytokines and chemokines. The mechanisms by which

Successful immunotherapy will require alteration of the tumour microenvironment and/or decreased immune suppression. Tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) are one major factor affecting tumour microenvironment. We hypothesised that altering TAM phenotype would augment the efficacy of immunotherapy.
