Dolastatin15, a depsipeptide derived from Dolabella auricularia, is a potent antimitotic agent structurally related to the anti-tubulin agent Dolastatin 10. Dolastatin15 can be used as an ADC cytotoxin and it induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in m
Tasidotin hydrochloride, a peptide analog of the antimitotic depsipeptide dolastatin15, is an inhibitor of microtubule assembly and microtubule dynamics.
Cemadotin hydrochloride is the salt from of Cemadotin (free base), also known as, LU103793, a mitosis inhibitor potentially for the treatment of solid tumours. Cemadotin is also a synthetic derivative of Dolastatin15, an antiproliferative compound which was isolated from the mollusk Dolabella auricularia. Like Dolastatin15, LU103793 is highly cytotoxic in vitro (IC50 = 0.1 nM). LU103793 inhibits microtubule polymerization in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50 = 7 microM). Treatment with this compound also induced depolymerization of preassembled microtubules. Cell cycle analysis of tumor cell lines treated with LU103793 indicated a block in the G2-M phase.
