thailanstatin a

Thailanstatin A is an ultra-potent inhibitor of eukaryotic RNA splicing (IC50 = 650 nM). It inhibits multiple cancer cell lines via non-covalent binding to the SF3b subunit of the U2 snRNA subcomplex of the spliceosome, displaying low-nM to sub-nM IC50s. Thailanstatin A, as a payload for ADCs, is conjugated to the lysines on trastuzumab, yielding linker-less ADC.
