microtubule in human tumor cells

Cevipabulin (TTI-237) is a microtubule-active antitumor compound and inhibits the binding of [3H] vinblastine to tubulin (IC50: 18-40 nM in the human tumor cell line).

Cevipabulin (TTI-237) fumarate is a microtubule-active antitumor compound and inhibits the binding of [3H] vinblastine to tubulin (IC50: 18-40 nM in the human tumor cell line).

ER-076349 is a microtubule polymerization inhibitor that induces G2-M cell cycle arrest and disrupts mitotic spindles. This compound inhibits the growth of cancer cells and suppresses tumor growth in various human tumor xenograft mouse models. Additionally, ER-076349 is an analog of Halichondrin B.

Microtubule destabilizing agent-2 (Compound 21) is an orally active and selective anticancer compound targeting microtubule proteins. It disrupts microtubule stability, inhibiting microtubule polymerization. This agent causes human tumor cells to arrest in the G0/G1 phase and induces apoptosis (Apoptosis) through activation of the Caspase cascade pathway. Additionally, it exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, inhibiting the production of TNF-α and IL-6 in vitro. Microtubule destabilizing agent-2 also suppresses tumor growth in xenograft mice.

IKP-104 is a microtubule/tubulin inhibitor (IC50 = 1.31 μM) that halts cells in mitosis and the M phase by inhibiting microtubule assembly and inducing cytoskeleton microtubule depolymerization. It suppresses the growth of both murine and human tumor cell lines, exhibiting antitumor effects in mouse ascites tumor and lung cancer models. IKP-104 is applicable in research on cancers such as leukemia, lung cancer, and melanoma.

CAY10701 is a 7-deazahypoxanthine analog that prevents microtubule formation, blocking the proliferation of HeLa and MCF-7 cells (GI50s = 22 and 38 nM, respectively). It also inhibits the growth of several different colorectal cancer cell lines (GI50 values range from 9 to 17 nM), while being at least 1,500-fold less effective against normal human fibroblast WI38 cells. CAY10701 is effective in vivo, reducing tumor volume in colorectal cell xenografts in mice without significantly altering body weight.

IG-105 is a potent microtubule inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. IG-105 inhibits microtubule assembly by binding at colchicine pocket. IG-105 shows a potent anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo and has good safety in mice. IG-105 showed a potent activity against human leukemia and solid tumors in breast, liver, prostate, lung, skin, colon, and pancreas with IC(50) values between 0.012 and 0.298 mumol/L. It was also active in drug-resistant tumor cells and not a P-glycoprotein substrate. It inhibited microtubule assembly followed by M-phase arrest, Bcl-2 inactivation, and then apoptosis through caspase pathways.

MPT0B098 is a potent microtubule inhibitor through binding to the colchicine-binding site of tubulin. MPT0B098 is active against the growth of various human cancer cells, including chemoresistant cells with IC50 values ranging from 70 to 150 nmol/L. MPT0B098 arrests cells in the G2–M phase and subsequently induces cell apoptosis. In addition, MPT0B098 effectively suppresses VEGF-induced cell migration and capillary-like tube formation of HUVECs. Distinguished from other microtubule inhibitors, MPT0B098 not only inhibited the expression levels of HIF-1α protein but also destabilized HIF-1α mRNA. The mechanism of causing unstable of HIF-1α mRNA by MPT0B098 is through decreasing RNA-binding protein, HuR, translocation from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Notably, MPT0B098 effectively suppresses tumor growth and microvessel density of tumor specimens in vivo. Taken together, our results provide a novel mechanism of inhibiting HIF-1α of a microtubule inhibitor MPT0B098. MPT0B098 is......

MPT0B214 is a novel and potent microtubule inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. MPT0B214 inhibited tubulin polymerization through strongly binding to the tubulin's colchicine-binding site and had cytotoxic activity in a variety of human tumor cell lines. After treatment with MPT0B214, KB cells were arrested in the G2-M phase before cell death occurred, which were associated with upregulation of cyclin B1, dephosphorylation of Cdc2, phosphorylation of Cdc25C and elevated expression of the mitotic marker MPM-2. Furthermore, the compound induced apoptotic cell death through mitochondria/caspase 9-dependent pathway. Notably, several KB-derived multidrug-resistant cancer cell lines were also sensitive to MPT0B214 treatment. ( PLoS One. 2013;8(3):e58953).
