Drugs targeting tubulin are active in human malignant disease and are an essential component of medical treatment of these diseases. As a result, pharmaceutical research on compounds that interfere with tubulin function has concentrated on agents which might have enhanced efficacy or reduced toxicity. Epothilone D is a more potent microtubule stabilizer.
In vitro: Epothilone D is a more potent microtubule stabilizer in vitro than epothilone A or B. In vitro, Epothilone D showed potent cytotoxicity in a panel of human tumor cell lines, with similar potency to paclitaxel. It also showed definite advantage over paclitaxel in drug-resistant cell lines, and retained its cytotoxicity against a multidrug resistant cell line over-expressing P-glycoprotein [1].
In vivo: In vivo, antitumor efficacy of Epothilone D has been observed in both paclitaxel sensitive and resistant xenografts, as well as certain multidrug resistant xenografts including a doxorubinresistant CCRF-CEM leukemic cell xenograft [1].
Clinical trial: Epothilone D was well tolerated with manageable toxicity, favorable PK profile, and clinical activity. The maximum tolerated dose was determined to be 100 mg/m2 weekly 3-on/1-off. MTBF can be demonstrated in PBMCs of patients exposed to Epothilone D [1].

Animal experiment: | Mice[2] Groups of mice (n=3) receive intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections of 3.7 mg/kg of Epothilone D (epoD) dissolved in 100% DMSO, followed by euthanization using approved at times ranging from 0.25 h to 24 h. In another study, groups of mice (n=3) receive injections of 3 mg/kg of epoD in 100% DMSO followed by euthanization 4, 6 and 10 days later. The Epothilone D (epoD) levels in brain and blood samples are determined using LC-MS/MS protocols. Groups (n=10-13) of 3-month old PS19 tau Tg mice or 3-month old non-Tg littermates are administered weekly i.p. injections of 1 mg/kg epoD, 3 mg/kg of Epothilone D (epoD) or vehicle (DMSO), for a total of 3 months. Animals are monitored for signs of abnormal behavior or distress, and are weighed weekly. After final dosing, the mice undergo motor function and cognitive testing. After euthanization, brains and optic nerve (ON) are recovered for immunohistochemical analyses. A subset of mice from each group also undergo necropsy evaluation with organ weights recorded. |
