Cevipabulin (TTI-237) fumarate is a microtubule-active antitumor compound and inhibits the binding of [3H] vinblastine to tubulin (IC50: 18-40 nM in the humantumor cell line).
CAY10701 is a 7-deazahypoxanthine analog that prevents microtubule formation, blocking the proliferation of HeLa and MCF-7 cells (GI50s = 22 and 38 nM, respectively). It also inhibits the growth of several different colorectal cancer cell lines (GI50 values range from 9 to 17 nM), while being at least 1,500-fold less effective against normal human fibroblast WI38 cells. CAY10701 is effective in vivo, reducing tumor volume in colorectal cell xenografts in mice without significantly altering body weight.
IG-105 is a potent microtubuleinhibitor with potential anticancer activity. IG-105 inhibits microtubule assembly by binding at colchicine pocket. IG-105 shows a potent anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo and has good safety in mice. IG-105 showed a potent activity against human leukemia and solid tumors in breast, liver, prostate, lung, skin, colon, and pancreas with IC(50) values between 0.012 and 0.298 mumol L. It was also active in drug-resistant tumorcells and not a P-glycoprotein substrate. It inhibited microtubule assembly followed by M-phase arrest, Bcl-2 inactivation, and then apoptosis through caspase pathways.
MPT0B098 is a potent microtubuleinhibitor through binding to the colchicine-binding site of tubulin. MPT0B098 is active against the growth of various human cancer cells, including chemoresistant cells with IC50 values ranging from 70 to 150 nmol L. MPT0B098 arrests cellsin the G2–M phase and subsequently induces cell apoptosis. In addition, MPT0B098 effectively suppresses VEGF-induced cell migration and capillary-like tube formation of HUVECs. Distinguished from other microtubuleinhibitors, MPT0B098 not only inhibited the expression levels of HIF-1α protein but also destabilized HIF-1α mRNA. The mechanism of causing unstable of HIF-1α mRNA by MPT0B098 is through decreasing RNA-binding protein, HuR, translocation from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Notably, MPT0B098 effectively suppresses tumor growth and microvessel density of tumor specimens in vivo. Taken together, our results provide a novel mechanism of inhibiting HIF-1α of a microtubuleinhibitor MPT0B098. MPT0B098 is......
MPT0B214 is a novel and potent microtubuleinhibitor with potential anticancer activity. MPT0B214 inhibited tubulin polymerization through strongly binding to the tubulin's colchicine-binding site and had cytotoxic activity in a variety of humantumor cell lines. After treatment with MPT0B214, KB cells were arrested in the G2-M phase before cell death occurred, which were associated with upregulation of cyclin B1, dephosphorylation of Cdc2, phosphorylation of Cdc25C and elevated expression of the mitotic marker MPM-2. Furthermore, the compound induced apoptotic cell death through mitochondria caspase 9-dependent pathway. Notably, several KB-derived multidrug-resistant cancer cell lines were also sensitive to MPT0B214 treatment. ( PLoS One. 2013;8(3):e58953).
