Research-grade pharmaceutical intermediate. For laboratory research use only; not for direct human or veterinary clinical use.
-
1,Synthetic precursor (primary use)
Fumagillol is the core intermediate of fumagillin and TNP-470 (a classic angiogenesis inhibitor) and is a key starting material for the synthesis of these two drug candidates.
-
Fumagillin: antiprotozoal (against microsporidia and Giardia lamblia); used in veterinary medicine for nosemosis in honeybees; also used in anti-angiogenesis research.
-
TNP-470: an anti-angiogenic lead compound for cancer; used in basic oncology research.
-
2,Pharmacological target research tool
-
METAP2 (methionine aminopeptidase 2) inhibitor; inhibits endothelial cell proliferation; used in research on angiogenic mechanisms, tumors, and ocular neovascularization.
-
In vitro antiparasitic activity: inhibitory activity against Giardia lamblia; used in screening experiments for new antiprotozoal drugs.
-
Immunology-related research: can inhibit lymphocyte proliferation; a basic experimental reagent for immunology.
-
3,Other research applications
Vascular biology, microbial pathology, and structural modification of lead compounds; used in early-stage in vitro/animal studies in drug discovery and development.
