Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Epothilone B is a highly potent non-taxane microtubule stabilizing agent with a Ki of 0.75 µM. Epothilone B directly inhibits growth and survival of multiple myeloma (MM) cells. Epothilone B induces G2M arrest of MM cells, with subsequent apoptosis. Epothilone B inhibits proliferation of MM cells induced by adherence to bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). Epothilone B in a dose-dependent manner decreases the survival of RPMI 8226, U266, Dex-sensitive MM.1S, Dex-resistant MM.1R cells. Treatment with epothilone B modulates expression of apoptosis-regulating proteins. Epothilone B inhibits tumor cell adhesion-induced up-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion. Coincubation of epothilone B with IL-6 or IGF-1 results in enhanced reduction in the fraction of proliferating MM.1S cells. [1] Epothilone B inhibits the antiproliferative for prostate cancer cell line DU 145 and PC-3M cancer cells with IC50s of 0.31 and 0.52 nM, respectively. Epothilone B (5 mg/kg) produces protracted growth inhibition of subcutaneous PC-3M tumors, with transient body weight loss. Importantly, epothilone B retains activity against paclitaxel-refractory cells overexpressing the P-gp efflux pump (MDR1 gene product) or harboring mutations in β-tubulin. [2] Epothilone B inhibits the growth of paclitaxel-sensitive human epidermoid carcinoma cells KB-31 and KB-8511 with IC50s of 0.19 and 0.18 nM, respectively. [3] In addition, epothilone B is effective in slowing tumor growth and prolonging median survival of mice that receive orthotopical transplants with MM tumor cells. [1] In mice with orthotopic PC-3M tumors, 4 or 5 mg/kg/week epothilone B impaires primary tumor growth, abrogates metastases and enhances survival, with only transient body weight loss. [2]

Protocols

Epothilone B is dissolved in DMSO and stored as 10 mM and 100 mM stock solutions, respectively, at -20°C until use. [1]
