Description and Uses
Epothilones are microtubule-stabilizing agents with potential anti-neoplastic actions. They are natural macrolides that have high potency in both taxane-sensitive and taxane-resistant models. Epothilone D is a desoxy form of epothilone B (Item No. 10924) that inhibits the growth of a variety of cancer cells both in vitro (IC50 values range from 0.97 to 21 nM) and in mice. Epothilone D is brain penetrant and reduces neurodegeneration in aged tau transgenic mice. Effects include improved axonal transport, decreased tau neuropathology, and reduced hippocampal neuron loss. Epothilone D also rescues microtubule defects and attenuates nigrostriatal degeneration in a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease.
Epothilones are polyketide natural products that inhibit cancer cells by a mechanism similar to paclitaxel, and also are effective against paclitaxel-resistant tumours. Epothilone D is in phase I clinical testing of in patients with advanced solid tumours. Epothilone D is a cytotoxic macrolide that stabilises malignant cells'' microtubules and arrests mitosis, a characteristic it shares with other epothilones. They bind to the same hepatic sites as does paclitaxel (Taxol) in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio of a, b-tubulin heterodimers.
