Nab-Paclitaxel (Nanoparticle albumin-bound Paclitaxel) is an albumin-bound nanoparticle formulation of Paclitaxel (HY-B0015). Nab-Paclitaxel is composed of albumin and the active pharmaceutical ingredient Paclitaxel, in which human albumin is used as an excipient to disperse and stabilize particles and carry the main drug. Nab-Paclitaxel is a solvent-free taxane with higher response rates and improved tolerability. Nab-Paclitaxel displays less toxicity and greater antitumor activity. Nab-Paclitaxel is more readily available for tumor cell uptake in three rhabdomyosarcoma, seven neuroblastoma cell lines, and one ostersarcoma cell line Nab-Paclitaxel can be studied in cancer research for example breast cancer and solid tumors. (The product specifications below only indicate the effective content of Paditaxel, the actual albumin quality depends on the batch; the ratio of each ingredient in this product is Paditaxel: albumin -1:7~1:11).

Cilengitide (EMD 121974) is a BBB-permeable integrins antagonist with IC₅₀s of 0.61 nM (α_νβ₃), 8.4 nM (α_νβ₅) and 14.9 nM (α₅β₁), respectively. Cilengitide inhibits the binding of α_νβ₃ and α_νβ₅ to Vitronectin with IC₅₀s of 4 nM and 79 nM, respectively. Cilengitide inhibits TGF-β/Smad signaling, mediates PD-L1 expression. Cilengitide also induces apoptosis, shows antiangiogenic effect in the research against glioblastoma and other cancers.
