microtubule polymerization

Ixabepilone (Azaepothilone B) is an orally bioavailable microtubule inhibitor. It binds to tubulin and promotes tubulin polymerization and microtubule stabilization, thereby arresting cells in the G2-M phase of the cell cycle and inducing tumor cell apoptosis.

Tubulin inhibitor 8 is an inhibitor of tubulin and various cancer cell lines and inhibits tubulin polymerisation and K562 cell growth with an IC50 of 0.73 μM and 14 nM respectively.

AK301 is a potent and selective inhibitor of tubulin polymerization and an effective sensitizer of cancer cells to apoptotic ligands (EC50 < 200 nM). Colon cancer cells arrested in mitosis with AK301 readily underwent a p53-dependent apoptosis following compound withdrawal and arrest release.

cis-trismethoxy Resveratrol ((Z)-3,5,4'-Trimethoxystilbene) inhibits tubulin polymerization (IC50 = 4 μM) and has anti-mitotic effects.

T-900607 is a novel microtubule protein active agent that disrupts microtubule polymerization through a unique mechanism of action. t-900607 is cardiotoxic.

Tubulin inhibitor 32 is an orally active novel microtubule inhibitor with antiproliferative and antitumor activity, inhibits microtubule polymerization, induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in G2 M phase.

Benproperine phosphate (Pirexyl phosphate) is a cough suppressant.

Albendazole sulfoxide (Ricobendazole) is a metabolite of Albendazole, an anthelmintic.

Nocodazole (Oncodazole) is a reversible inhibitor of microtubule polymerization and an inhibitor of Bcr-Abl. Nocodazole has antitumor activity, blocks the cell cycle and induces apoptosis.

Fosbretabulin Disodium (CA 4P), a water-soluble prodrug of Combretastatin A4 (CA4), is a microtubule-targeting agent that binds β-tubulin (Kd: 0.4 μM). Fosbretabulin Disodium(Combretastatin A4 disodium phosphate) inhibits the polymerization of tubulin (IC50: 2.4 μM), and also disrupts tumor vasculature.

Eribulin (B1939) is a nonpaclitaxel microtubule kinetic inhibitor with anticancer activity that inhibits polymerization of microtubule protein subunits by preventing lengthening and shortening of microtubules during cell division.Eribulin is used in the study of metastatic breast cancer and solid tumors.

Trimethylcolchicinic acid (N-Deacetylcolchiceine) is an orally available colchicine analog that binds to tubulin and inhibits its polymerization into microtubules, preventing cell division and having potential antitumor activity.

Tubulin inhibitor 6 (iHAP1) is an inhibitor of tubulin and a potent inhibitor of multiple cancer cell lines.

MPT0B014 is a potent tubulin polymerization inhibitor. MPT0B014 can induce cancer cell apoptosis.

Tubulin polymerization-IN-47 is a tubulin polymerization inhibitor and mitotic inhibitor with antitumor activity and inhibitory effects on neuroblastoma cancer cell proliferation, with IC50s of 7 and 12 nM for Chp-134 and Kelly cell lines, respectively. Tubulin polymerization-IN-47 is a candidate compound for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, colon cancer, lung cancer and breast cancer.

Colchicine is an orally active natural alkaloid that acts by inhibiting microtubule polymerization (IC50 = 3 nM) and as a competitive antagonist of the α3 glycine receptor. It possesses broad anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and antifibrotic activities, can inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome activation to prevent NSAID-induced small intestine injury, holds potential for gouty arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis research, and is commonly used to establish Alzheimer’s disease models.

Batabulin (T138067) is an antitumor compound that binds covalently and selectively to a subset of the β-tubulin isotypes, disrupting microtubule polymerization. This disruption affects cell morphology, induces cell-cycle arrest, and ultimately leads to apoptotic cell death.

Cytochalasin A, a cell-permeable fungal toxin and oxidized derivative of cytochalasin B, is an inhibitor of HIV-1 protease (IC50 = 3 μM). It inhibits actin polymerization, interferes with microtubule assembly by reacting with sulfhydryl groups, and serves as an antibiotic and bactericidal active agent.

Lys-SMCC-DM1 (Lys-Nε-MCC-DM1) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). It contains the microtubule polymerization inhibitor DM1 as the active metabolite, which inhibits microtubule polymerization. It is commonly used in breast cancer research.

Microtubule inhibitor 1 is an antitumor agent that inhibits microtubule polymerization with an IC50 of 9-16 nM in cancer cells.

S-methyl DM1, a thiomethyl derivative of Maytansine, binds to tubulin (Kd of 0.93 μM) and inhibits microtubule polymerization.

S516 is an active CKD-516 metabolite and is a potent inhibitor of tubulin polymerization(IC50 of 4.29 μM), has marked antitumor activity.

Tubulin inhibitor 7 is an inhibitor of tubulin and a potent inhibitor of multiple cancer cell lines (tubulin polymerization (IC50: 0.52 μM), K562 cell growth (IC50: 11 nM)).
