Dolastatin 15, a depsipeptide derived from Dolabella auricularia, is a potent antimitotic agent structurally related to the anti-tubulin agent Dolastatin 10. Dolastatin 15 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 dolastatin 15, 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 Dolastatin 15, an antiproliferative compound which was isolated from the mollusk Dolabella auricularia. Like Dolastatin 15, 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.
