Rick,
Thanks for posting the abstracts. Speaking as an "MOGN fan," I can attest to the fact that "...potent and selective toxicity toward tumor vasculature" is a concept that does, indeed, illicit drool -- who needs Salagen? ;-) I wonder what explains the apparent selectivity of CA-4 for tumor vasculature? (It is my understanding that the CA-4 analog is the lead compound.)
What, in particular, about the tubulin-binding mechanism of action you less enthusiastic?
I like your idea of monitoring for Dr. Landuyt's name, independent of OXGN.
The more I read, the more I like this company. Please, post a dose of cold reality, and disabuse me of this silly optimism before it is too late! The very last thing I need is to go and buy a large amount of (yet another) biotech that promptly drops two- or three-fold!
Best regards, RB
