Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is integrally involved in tumorigenesis by impacting on both proteolytic activity and cell migration during angiogenesis. OBJECTIVES: We hypothesized that an orally active small molecule inhibitor of PAI-1 (PAI-039; tiplaxtinin) could affect smooth muscle cell (SMC) attachment and migration in vitro on a vitronectin matrix, and exhibit antiangiogenic activity...
