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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Total Syntheses of (+)-Zampanolide and (+)-Dactylolide Exploiting a Unified Strategy

TL;DR: The first total syntheses of (+)-zampanolide and (+)-dactylolide, members of a new class of tumor cell growth inhibitory macrolides, have been achieved.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tubulin polymerizing activity of dictyostatin-1, a polyketide of marine sponge origin.

TL;DR: Results indicate that dictyostatin-1 is a potent inducer of tubulin polymerization and retains activity in cells expressing the P-glycoprotein efflux pump.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular recognition of taxol by microtubules. Kinetics and thermodynamics of binding of fluorescent taxol derivatives to an exposed site

TL;DR: The kinetic scheme and reaction rates of binding to microtubules of two fluorescent taxoids and the results indicate that the Taxol binding site is directly accessible, in contrast with its location at lumen in the current model of micro Tubules.
