Epothilone A (also abbreviated as Epo A), similar to paclitaxel in terms of mechanism of action, is also a naturally occurring microtubule-stabilizing macrolide agent (also called mitotic inhibitor or tubulin inhibitor) isolated from the myxobacterium Sorangium cellulosum with potential antineoplastic activity. It acts by inhibiting the polymerization of tubulin. The antiproliferative IC50 value of Epothilone A in HCT-116 cell line is 4.4 nM. It has been found that the SKOV-3 human ovarian cancer cells were susceptible to Epothilone A with IC50 value of 20.4 ± 1.4 nM. The antiproliferative capacity of Epothilone A in SKOV-3 cell line (measured as IC50 after 72 h continuous treatment) was six times greater than that of PTX’s. Besides, Epothilone A induced time coursedependent apoptosis and necrosis.
ln Vitro |
Epothilone A is a competitive inhibitor that prevents tubulin polymers from binding to [3H] paclitaxel. According to Hanes and Dixon analyses, Epothilone A's apparent Ki value is 1.4 μM and 0.6 μM, respectively[1]. When epothilone A is applied to the human T-24 bladder carcinoma cell line in vitro, it is observed to be highly cytotoxic (IC50=0.05 μM). Based on competition experiments, the binding affinities of paclitaxel and epothilone A to tubulin are of the same order of magnitude. The inhibitory concentration (IC50) of paclitaxel (3.6 μM), epothilone A (2.3 μM), and patupilone (3.3 μM) required to remove 100 nM of (3H) paclitaxel from the tubulin binding site[2].

Metabolism / Metabolites
PBBs can be absorbed via oral, inhalation, and dermal routes. Due to their lipophilic nature, PBBs, especially the highly brominated congeners, tend to accumulate in lipid-rich tissues such as the liver, adipose, skin, and breast milk. Certain PBB compounds are metabolized by the microsomal monooxygenase system catalyzed by cytochrome P-450 of the type induced by phenobarbital. The rate of metabolism may depends on the bromine substitution pattern. PBB congeners of low bromine content are transformed into hydroxylated derivatives that are predominately eliminated in the urine. Highly brominated congeners are either retained or excreted unchanged in the feces. (L628) |

Additional Infomation |
Epothilone A is an epithilone that is epothilone C in which the double bond in the macrocyclic lactone ring has been oxidised to the corresponding epoxide (the 13R,14S diastereoisomer). It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, a tubulin modulator, a metabolite and a microtubule-stabilising agent. It is an epoxide and an epothilone.
Epothilone A has been reported in Brassica napus and Sorangium cellulosum with data available. Epothilone A is an extract from the myxobacteria Sorangium cellulosum that promotes tubulin polymerization and microtubule stabilization, thereby inhibiting mitosis. Epothilone A appears to be less potent than Epothilone B. (NCI) 2-Monobromobiphenyl is a polybrominated biphenyl. Polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) are a group of 209 synthetic organic compounds with 1-10 bromine atoms attached to biphenyl. They can be used as flame retardants and may be added to the plastics used to make products like computer monitors, televisions, textiles, and plastic foams to make them difficult to burn. However, the use of PBBs is banned or restricted in most areas due to their toxicity and persistence in the environment. (L628, L629) |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
