Mechanism of action

Endostar (rh-endostatin) is an angiogenesis inhibitor derived from the C-terminal fragment of collagen XVIII. It suppresses tumor neovascularization by inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation and migration, thereby starving tumors of blood supply. When combined with cisplatin, a platinum-based chemotherapy agent that causes DNA damage, the dual mechanism targets both tumor vasculature and cancer cells directly.
