Journal ArticleDOI

Paclitaxel-resistant cells have a mutation in the paclitaxel-binding region of β-tubulin (Asp26Glu) and less stable microtubules

TL;DR: It is suggested that a mutation in tubulin might affect microtubule stability as well as drug binding and contribute to the observed resistance profile.
Journal Article

HTI-286, a Synthetic Analogue of the Tripeptide Hemiasterlin, Is a Potent Antimicrotubule Agent that Circumvents P-Glycoprotein-mediated Resistance in Vitro and in Vivo

TL;DR: The data suggest that HTI-286 has excellent preclinical properties that may translate into superior clinical activity, as well as provide a useful synthetic reagent to probe the drug contact sites of peptide-like molecules that interact with tubulin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis, molecular editing, and biological assessment of the potent cytotoxin leiodermatolide.

TL;DR: The acquired biodata show that 1 is a potent cytotoxin in human tumor cell proliferation assays, distinguished by GI50 values in the ≤3 nM range even for cell lines expressing the Pgp efflux transporter.
