A three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D QSAR) study has been carried out on epothilones based on comparative molecular field analyses (CoMFA) using a large data set of epothilone analogs, which are potent inhibitors of tubulin depolymerization. Microtubules, which are polymers of the a/beta-tubulin heterodimer, need to dissociate in order to form the mitotic spindle...
background: tubulin protein being the fundamental unit of microtubules is actively involved in cell division thus making them a potential anti-cancer drug target. in spite of many reported drugs against tubulin, few of them have started developing resistance in human β-tubulin due to amino acid substitutions. methods: in this study we generated three mutants (f270v, a364t and q292e) using model...
We have successfully used mutagenesis to engineer Taxol (paclitaxel) binding activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae tubulin. Taxol, a successful antitumor agent, acts by promoting tubulin assembly and stabilizing microtubules. Several structurally diverse antimitotic compounds, including the epothilones, compete with Taxol for binding to mammalian microtubules, suggesting that Taxol and these com...
Epothilones are a new class of antimicrotubule agents currently in clinical trials. Their chemical structures are distinct from taxanes and are more amenable to synthetic modification. Six epothilones have been studied in preclinical and clinical trials: patupilone (epothilone B), ixabepilone (BMS247550), BMS 310705, sagopilone (ZK-EPO), KOS-862 (epothilone D), and KOS-1584. In vitro data have ...
An unusual reaction with Grubbs' catalyst during the synthesis of bridged epothilones yielded five-membered internal lactones instead of the expected metathesis products. Three of the lactones have activities comparable to epothilone D.
BACKGROUND Drugs that target microtubules, including paclitaxel (Taxol) and docetaxel (Taxotere), are among the most commonly prescribed anticancer therapies. However, the utility of taxane-based therapies is limited by difficulties with formulation, administration, and resistance induced by P-glycoprotein. The epothilones are a novel class of antimicrotubule agents that have demonstrated antit...
Taxol (paclitaxel), a complex diterpene obtained from the Pacific yew, Taxus brevifolia, is arguably the most important new drug in cancer chemotherapy. The mechanism of cytotoxic action for paclitaxel-i.e., the stabilization of microtubules leading to mitotic arrest-is now shared by four recently identified natural products, eleutherobin, epothilones A and B, and discodermolide. Their ability ...
This paper describes the synthesis and biological evaluation of macrolactones containing a thienyl substituent as simple analogues of epothilones. The compounds were prepared in a brief and efficient manner from thiophene-2-carbaldehyde using a ring-closing metathesis with Grubbs I or Grubbs II catalyst as the key step. The target lactones showed only insignificant cytotoxicity, while an interm...
