Recent progress with microtubule stabilizers: new compounds, binding modes and cellular activities

TLDR
Recent progress in the chemistry and biology of these diverse microtubule stabilizers focusing on the wide range of organisms that produce these compounds, their mechanisms of inhibiting microtubules-dependent processes, mechanisms of drug resistance, and their interactions with tubulin including their distinct binding sites and modes are covered.

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.

Preclinical Antitumor Activity of Cabazitaxel, a Semisynthetic Taxane Active in Taxane-Resistant Tumors

TL;DR: Cabazitaxel is as active as docetaxel in docentaxel-sensitive tumor models but is more potent than docetAXel in tumor models with innate or acquired resistance to taxanes and other chemotherapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibitors Targeting Mitosis: Tales of How Great Drugs against a Promising Target Were Brought Down by a Flawed Rationale

TL;DR: Preclinical and clinical data for a diverse group of inhibitors that target mitosis are reviewed and the reasons why these highly specific, myelosuppressive compounds have failed to deliver on their promise are identified.

Inhibition of the Androgen Receptor as a Novel Mechanism of Taxol Chemotherapy in Prostate Cancer

TL;DR: Treatment of 22Rv1, a PTEN-positive CRPC cell line, with paclitaxel and its semisynthetic analogue docetaxel decreases expression of the androgen receptor (AR)-activated genes prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and Nkx3.1 but increasesexpression of the AR repression gene maspin, suggesting that Taxol treatment inhibits AR activity.

Peloruside A Does Not Bind to the Taxoid Site on β-Tubulin and Retains Its Activity in Multidrug-Resistant Cell Lines

TL;DR: It was concluded that peloruside and laulimalide have binding properties that are distinct from other microtubule-stabilizing compounds currently under investigation.
