title: Novel anti-angiogenic compounds for application in tumor therapy - COP9 signalosome-associated kinases as possible targets.
abstract: Preclinical studies revealed that curcumin, the yellow curry pigment, emodin, a compound derived from grapes, and taurolidine, derived from a biogenic amino acid, and some of their structural homologs possess anti-angiogenic and cancer chemopreventive properties. Whereas curcumin and emodin can act via inhibition of COP9 signalosome-associated kinases, taurolidine blocks protein biosynthesis.
