Fumagillin suppresses angiogenesis in cancer models and clinical trials, but it is associated with neurotoxicity at systemic doses. In this study, alpha(nu)beta(3)-targeted fumagillin nanoparticles were used to suppress the neovasculature and inhibit Vx-2 adenocarcinoma development using minute drug doses. Tumorbearing rabbits were treated on days 6, 9, and 12 postimplantation with alpha(nu)beta(3)-targeted fumagillin nanoparticles (30 mu g/kg), alpha(nu)beta(3)-targeted nanoparticles without drug, nontargeted fumagillin nanoparticles (30 mu g/kg) or saline. On day 16, MRI was performed with alpha(nu)beta(3)-targeted paramagnetic nanoparticles to quantify tumor size and assess neovascularity. Tumor volume was reduced among rabbits receiving alpha(nu)beta(3)-targeted fumagillin nanoparticles (470 +/- 120 mm(3)) compared with the three control groups: nontargeted fumagillin nanoparticles (1370 +/- 300 mm3, P
