| Targets |
Avanbulin targets tubulin, the protein that polymerizes to form microtubules, which are essential components of the cytoskeleton and play a critical role in cell division. Avanbulin binds to the colchicine site on unassembled tubulin. By binding to this site, it inhibits the assembly of tubulin into microtubules, leading to the disruption of microtubule dynamics. This disruption prevents the formation of the mitotic spindle, causing cell cycle arrest and inducing cancer cell death.

| ln Vitro |
Tubulin binds to avanbulin (0–4 μM) as colchicine, with an apparent Kd of 244 nM. [1]. Tubulin undergoes proteolysis when avandulin (50 μM; 0, 10, 20, 30, 60 min) is added [1]. Tiny tubulin aggregates are formed when avanbulin (33 nM; 0, 10, 20, 30, 60 min; HeLa-tubGFP cells) collapses the mitotic spindle [1]. Tubulin oligomers do not form when avandulin is present [1]. In 23 tumor cell lines, avandulin inhibits proliferation with a median relative IC50 of 13.8 nM (96 hours) [2]. GBM6 and GBM9 cell migration is inhibited by avanbulin (6 nM and 20 nM) [3]. GBM6-shEB1 and GBM6-sh0 cells, respectively, respond to avanbulin (6 nM and 20 nM) to initiate GBM6 astrocyte development in an EB1-dependent manner [3]. MG132 (10 μM; 2 h) treated hTert-RPE1 eGFP-α-tubulin cells show decreased kinetochore microtubule (KT–MT) occupancy in response to avanbulin (12 nM; 4 h) [4]. Avanbulin (12 nM; 4 h) exhibits intact spindle shape, decreases the average KT distance of cells, and does not exhibit any chromosome alignment problems [4].
In vitro, Avanbulin is a potent inhibitor of tubulin polymerization. It inhibits tubulin assembly at 37 °C with an IC50 of 1.4 μM. Its activity is typically measured using a tubulin polymerization assay, where the compound's ability to inhibit the polymerization of purified tubulin is assessed. These in vitro studies confirm Avanbulin's mechanism of action as a microtubule-destabilizing agent. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Avanbulin is a research compound that is currently undergoing clinical evaluation as the prodrug BAL101553. The prodrug approach is used to improve the compound's solubility and pharmacokinetic properties. Avanbulin has shown antitumor activity in preclinical models. However, specific in vivo protocols and results are not detailed in standard product descriptions.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for Avanbulin measure its inhibition of tubulin polymerization. Purified tubulin is incubated with varying concentrations of the compound, and the assembly of microtubules is monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the increase in turbidity at 340 nm. The IC50 is determined from the dose-response curve. For Avanbulin, the IC50 is 1.4 μM at 37 °C. These assays confirm the compound's activity as a tubulin polymerization inhibitor.

Cytotoxicity assay [2]
Cell Types: 23 cell lines, including RD, TC-71, SJ-GBM2, NB-1643. Tested Concentrations: 0.1 nM-1.0 μM Incubation Duration: 96 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Induced cell growth inhibition with a median relative IC50 of 13.8 nM. In vitro cell-based assays for Avanbulin are used to study its effects on cancer cell division and viability. Cancer cells are treated with the compound, and cell cycle analysis is performed by flow cytometry. Cell viability is assessed using assays such as MTT or CellTiter-Glo. The disruption of the mitotic spindle can be visualized by immunofluorescence staining of tubulin. These assays confirm the compound's antiproliferative and cytotoxic effects. |
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments for Avanbulin have been conducted in xenograft models of cancer. In a typical study, mice bearing tumor xenografts are treated with the compound, and tumor growth is monitored. The compound's ability to inhibit tumor growth is assessed. These studies provide evidence for the in vivo efficacy of Avanbulin. However, specific protocols are not detailed.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Avanbulin has a CAS number of 798577-91-0. It is a solid compound. For storage, it is recommended to keep the powder at -20°C. Detailed pharmacokinetic properties such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) have been characterized. The compound is being developed as a prodrug, BAL101553, to improve its pharmaceutical properties.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Detailed toxicity data for Avanbulin is not provided in standard product descriptions. As a microtubule-targeted agent, it is expected to have myelosuppressive effects, similar to other drugs in this class. As with all research chemicals, standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling Avanbulin. Its use is limited to research applications and it is not intended for human or veterinary use.
