1. What is epothilone ?

The epothilones are a new class of cancer drugs. Like taxanes, they prevent cancer cells from dividing by interfering with tubulin, but in early trials epithilones have better efficacy and milder adverse effects than taxanes. Taxane resistance remains a significant barrier to the treatment of a variety of tumor types,but it is important to understand epothilones and their indications.

2. Mechanism of action

The principal mechanism of the epothilone class is inhibition of microtubule function. Microtubules are essential to cell division, and epothilones therefore stop cells from properly dividing. Published studies of three epothilones in current clinical development, epothilone B, aza-epothilone B, and desoxyepothilone B, indicate that these compounds exhibit broad spectrum anti cancer activity in cell culture models and in xenografts. Furthermore, epothilones are generally more cytotoxic than paclitaxel in cell culture studies.

HANGZHOU HOLYPHARM BIOTECH CO.,LTD, a professional supplier of active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates,said there is substantial evidence that some of the most active anticancer drugs, such as epothilone b. But in this process, Tubulin inhibitors interfere directly with the tubulin system which is in contrast to those drugs acting on DNA for cancer chemotherapy. Microtubules play an important role in eukaryotic cells, so microtubule and cancer is related in medical.
