Résumé

We investigate here the anti-angiogenic properties of the synthetic compound myo-inositol trispyrophosphate (ITPP). By increasing oxy-haemoglobin dissociation, ITPP has the potential to counteract the effects of hypoxia, a critical regulator of angiogenesis and cancer progression. ITPP inhibited angiogenesis of the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), as analyzed with an original program dedicated to automated quantification of angiogenesis in this model. ITPP also markedly reduced tumor progression and angiogenesis in an experimental model of U87 glioma cell nodules grafted onto the CAM. These results point out the potential of ITPP for the development of a new class of anti-angiogenic and anti-cancer compounds.
