Product Description

Epothilone B (formerly known as EO-906; patupilone; EPO 906A; EPO906, Patupilone) is a paclitaxel-class of microtubule-stabilizing agent (also called mitotic inhibitor or tubulin inhibitor) with potential antitumor activity and has been approved for cancer treatment. It inhibits the polymerization of tubulin with an EC0.01 of 1.8 μM. It is a nturally occurring compound isolated from the myxobacterium Sorangium cellulosum. Similar to paclitaxel, epothilone B induces microtubule polymerization and stabilizes microtubules against depolymerization conditions. More importantly, in cell culture, Epothilone B is active against paclitaxel-resistant cell lines that express P-glycoprotein. Furthermore, Epothilone B has better water solubility than paclitaxel which eliminates the use of toxic solubilizers such as Cremophor which is used to solubilize paclitaxel and can cause hypersensitivity reactions in patients.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In the HCT-116 cell line cytotoxicity experiment, epothilone B inhibits HCT116 cells with an IC50 of 0.8 nM[1]. An medication that targets microtubules (MT) is called epothilone B, or patupilone. Epothilone B effectively reduces cell growth with an IC50 of 6 nM after 72 hours of treatment, as demonstrated by the MTT cell proliferation experiment, but values ≤1 nM are not cytotoxic. At the non-cytotoxic concentration of 1 nM, epothilone B considerably inhibits transwell cell migration; at 10 nM, the impact is more pronounced[2]. In human medulloblastoma cell lines, epothilone B (Patupilone) is a novel, non-taxane-related, and nonneurotoxic microtubule-stabilizing drug. With an IC50 of 0.53 nM in the D341 cell line, 0.37 nM in the D425Med cell line, and 0.19 nM in the DAOY cell line, epothilone B decreases the proliferative activity in these three cell lines. Epothilone B's effect on clonogenic survival in the D341Med cell line is observed at doses (IC50, 0.50-0.75 nM) that are comparable to the degree of proliferative activity and viability. Nevertheless, at a 10-fold lower concentration of Epothilone B (IC50, 30 pM), the clonogenicity of D425Med and DAOY cells is already significantly decreased. Overall, these findings show that epothilone B has a strong anti-medulloblastoma cell line effect[3].
ln Vivo
In contrast, combined treatment exerts a strong supra-additive tumor growth control, with complete tumor regression in the follow-up period (P<0.005, for ionizing radiation or Epothilone B alone vs combined treatment). Treatment with Epothilone B (Patupilone) or ionizing radiation alone results in a partial tumor growth suppression over 10 days[3].

*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.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
