Cilengitide is a molecule designed and synthesized at the Technical University Munich in collaboration with Merck KGaA in Darmstadt. It is based on the cyclic peptide cyclo(-RGDfV-), which is selective for αv integrins, which are important in angiogenesis (forming new blood vessels). Hence, it is under investigation for the treatment of glioblastoma by inhibiting angiogenesis.[1][2]
The European Medicines Agency has granted cilengitide orphan drug status.[3]
