Taxol®: The First Microtubule Stabilizing Agent
Taxol®, an antitumor drug with significant activity, is the first microtubule stabilizing agent described in the literature. This short review of the mechanism of action of Taxol® emphasizes the research done in the Horwitz' laboratory. It discusses the contribution of photoaffinity labeled analogues of Taxol® toward our understanding of the binding site of the drug on the microtubule. The impo...
متن کاملPeripheral neuropathy induced by microtubule-stabilizing agents.
Microtubule-stabilizing agents (MTSAs), including the taxanes and epothilones, are effective chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of many cancers. Neuropathy is a major adverse effect of MTSA-based chemotherapy, with severe peripheral neuropathy (grade 3 or 4) occurring in as many as 30% of patients treated with a MTSA. MTSA-induced neuropathy usually resolves gradually after cessation of ...
متن کاملSynthetic approaches to the microtubule stabilizing agent (-)-laulimalide.
In the past few years, the microtubule stabilizing agent (-)-laulimalide has attracted considerable attention, as it could constitute a potential treatment for cancer. Several total syntheses of (-)-laulimalide have now been reported. This review summarizes available biological data and synthetic approaches to (-)-laulimalide, reported prior to July 2002.
متن کاملTotal synthesis of the potent microtubule-stabilizing agent (+)-discodermolide.
The total synthesis of the potent microtubule-stabilizing, antimitotic agent (+)-discodermolide is described. The convergent synthetic strategy takes advantage of the diastereoselective alkylation of a ketone enolate to establish the key C15-C16 bond. The synthesis is amenable to preparation of gram-scale quantities of (+)-discodermolide and analogues.
متن کاملPlk phosphorylation regulates the microtubule-stabilizing protein TCTP.
The mitotic polo-like kinases have been implicated in the formation and function of bipolar spindles on the basis of their respective localizations and mutant phenotypes. To date, this putative regulation has been limited to a kinesin-like motor protein, a centrosomal structural protein, and two microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs). In this study, another spindle-regulating protein, the mamma...
