Paclitaxel targets FOXM1 to regulate KIF20A in mitotic catastrophe and breast cancer paclitaxel resistance

TL;DR: It is suggested that paclitaxel targets the FOXM1-KIF20A axis to drive abnormal mitotic spindle formation and mitotic catastrophe and that deregulated FoxM1 and Kif20A expression may confer paclitAXel resistance.

Recent advances in microtubule-stabilizing agents

TL;DR: This review focuses on the natural sources, structural features, mechanisms of action, structure-activity relationship (SAR) and chemical synthesis of MSAs, which mainly include paclitaxel, taccalonolides, epothilones, and FR182877 (cyclostreptin).
Journal ArticleDOI

Microtubule-targeting agents and their impact on cancer treatment.

TL;DR: In anti-metastatic therapy, MTAs should be combined with other drugs to target all modes of cancer cell invasion, and some of the novel MTAs overcome the resistance mediated by both multidrug resistance transporters as well as overexpression of specific β-tubulin types.

Taxanes in cancer treatment: Activity, chemoresistance and its overcoming

TL;DR: Taxanes have been widely used as microtubule-targeting antitumor agents and have shown impact on key molecular mechanisms including disruption of mitotic spindle, mitosis slippage and inhibition of angiogenesis.
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.

Distinct Pose of Discodermolide in Taxol Binding Pocket Drives a Complementary Mode of Microtubule Stabilization

TL;DR: Hydrogen-deuterium exchange is applied to determine the binding mode and the conformational effects on chicken erythrocyte tubulin of another MSA, discodermolide, whose synthetic analogues may have potential use in the clinic and indicate complementary stabilizing effects of Taxol and discodernolide on the microtubules, which may explain the synergy observed between the two drugs in vivo.

Laulimalide and synthetic laulimalide analogues are synergistic with paclitaxel and 2-methoxyestradiol.

TL;DR: The results show that the laulimalides together with other tubulin-binding antimitotic agents provide synergistic antiproliferative actions, and suggest that specific combinations of microtubule-targeting agents should be considered for clinical utilities as they have excellent potential to improve clinical response.

Total synthesis of (-)-zampanolide and structure-activity relationship studies on (-)-dactylolide derivatives.

TL;DR: Synthetic 1 inhibited human cancer cell growth in vitro with nM IC(50) values, while ent-2, which lacks the diene-containing hemiaminal-linked side chain of 1, is 25- to 260-fold less active.

Conformations of Laulimalide in DMSO-d6

TL;DR: 15 laulimalide conformations that can be classified into 5 different families: Supine, Convex, Cobra, Stretch, and Concave motifs are identified.
