Which of the following drugs would NOT block the cell cycle, and thus would NOT be appropriate cancer treatment? Nocodazole, a drug that blocks spindle fiber (microtubule) formation 5-flurouracil, a DNA analog that blocks DNA replication Sphingosine-1-phosphate, a molecule that stimulates relay molecules in signaling Brinapant, a drug that increases apoptosis (cell death) Bevacizumab, a drug that blocks formation of new blood vessels so that less oxygen is available for cancer cells

The correct answer is Sphingosine-1-phosphate.

Explanation:

Sphingosine-1-phosphate or S-1-P refers to a signaling sphingolipid that takes part in various of the cell proliferation procedures. Mainly the sphingosine-1-phosphate performs the work of monitoring the process of permeability, angiogenesis, and vascular stability that can further interfere in the process of metastasis.

However, it has been found that due to the tendency of developing the novel blood vessels, the sphingosine-1-phosphate also has some connection with certain kinds of cancers.
