Tumor-derived vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/ vascular permeability factor (VPF) plays an important role in neovascularization and the development of tumor stroma. Furthermore, VEGF receptors are over-expressed in the endothelial cells of tumor vasculature and almost non-detectable in the
Flavone acetic acid (FAA) is a potentially useful antitumour agent which has been reported to induce changes in tumour vasculature, in particular loss of bloodflow. This led us to examine whether endothelium could be a cellular target of FAA action, with resultant modulation of cell-surface coagulan
