• Epothilones A-F are anticancer drugs. They induce microtubule polymerization at submicromolar concentrations and lead to death of cancer cells. Goodin, S., et al. \"Epothilones: mechanism of action and biologic activity.\" J. Clin. Oncol. 22: 2015-2025 (2004).
• Epothilone B possess essentially all the biological effects of taxol both in vitro and in cultured cells. Epothilone B caused cell cycle arrest at the G2-M transition (EC50 = 32 nM for Hela cells and 3 nM for Hs578T), similar to taxol (EC50 = 7 nM for Hela cells and 10 nM for Hs578T). Epothilone B leads to cytotoxicity (EC50 = 40 nM for Hela cells and 6 nM for Hs578T), also similar to taxol (EC50 = 20 nM for Hela cells and 15 nM for Hs578T). However, epothilone B retains a much greater mitotic arrest at the G2-M transition and toxicity against P-glycoprotein-expressing multiple drug resistant KBV-1 cells (EC50 = 92 nM and 58 nM, respectively) than paclitaxel (EC50 = 17 µM and 23 µM, respectively).

• Two acquired β-tubulin mutations [β274(Thr-->Ile) and β282(Arg-->Gln)] near the taxane binding site exhibit impaired epothilone- and taxane-driven tubulin polymerization. Giannakakou, P., et al. \"A common pharmacophore for epothilone and taxanes: molecular basis for drug resistance conferred by tubulin mutations in human cancer cells.\" Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 97: 2904-2909 (2000).
• Purified tubulin from parental 1A9 human ovarian carcinoma cells demonstrated paclitaxel-driven increased polymerization while the resistant cell tubulin with a mutation at 270 (Phe --> Val) or 364 (Ala --> Thr) barely polymerized under identical conditions. In contrast, the resistant cells retained sensitivity to epothilone B and the assembly was increased. Giannakakou, P., et al. \"Paclitaxel-resistant human ovarian cancer cells have mutant beta-tubulins that exhibit impaired paclitaxel-driven polymerization.\" J. Biol. Chem. 272: 17118-17125 (1997).
• Epothilone B inhibited the growth of paclitaxel-sensitive human carcinoma cell lines including A549 (lung), NCI-H460 (Lung), HCT-116 (colon), DU145 (prostate), PC-3M (prostate), MDA-MB-231 (breast), BT-20 (breast), ZR-75-1 (breast), T-24 (bladder), and A-431 (epidermoid) with IC50s ranging from 0.13 nM to 0.64 nM. It also inhibited the growth of paclitaxel-resistant human cancer cell lines including CCRF-CEM (leukemia), CCRF-CEM/VBL100, SW620 (colon), SW620AD-300, KB-31, KB-8511, 1A9 (ovarian), 1A9PTX22, MCF-7 (breast), MCF-7/ADR, and HCT-15 (colon) with IC50s of 0.06 nM to 2.9 nM.
