β-tubulin. Hemiasterlin binds to the Vinca-peptide site on β-tubulin and inhibits microtubule polymerization.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
With down to subnanomolar potency against numerous cancer cell lines, hemesterlin is an antimitotic drug that disrupts microtubule dynamics to cause mitotic arrest and cell death [1].
Hemiasterlin exhibits remarkable cytotoxicity against various cancer cell lines with sub-nanomolar potency. It binds to tubulin, inhibits microtubule polymerization, and induces mitotic arrest. Its mechanism of action is distinct from other microtubule-targeting agents like taxanes. The compound disrupts microtubule dynamics to cause mitotic arrest and cell death. |
| ln Vivo |
Hemiasterlin demonstrates potent antitumor activity in vivo as a cytotoxic payload in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). By inducing mitotic arrest and abnormal spindle formation, it causes cell death in target cells. The compound has been incorporated into ADCs for targeted therapeutic applications.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro tubulin polymerization assays are used to evaluate the activity of hemiasterlin. Purified tubulin is incubated under conditions that promote polymerization (such as the presence of GTP and warm temperature) in the presence or absence of the compound. Polymerization is monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring turbidity at 340 nm. The compound's inhibition of polymerization is measured as a reduction in the rate or extent of tubulin assembly.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays for hemiasterlin evaluate its cytotoxic activity against various cancer cell lines. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of the compound, and cell viability is assessed after 48-72 hours using standard assays such as MTT, CellTiter-Glo, or sulforhodamine B. IC₅₀ values are determined from dose-response curves. Cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry confirms mitotic arrest.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for hemiasterlin are typically conducted in mouse xenograft models where human tumor cells are implanted subcutaneously. The compound, often as an ADC payload, is administered intravenously and tumor growth inhibition is monitored. In vivo efficacy is demonstrated by reduction in tumor volume compared to vehicle control. Pharmacodynamic markers of mitotic arrest and apoptosis are assessed in tumor tissue.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Hemiasterlin is a cytotoxic compound with a molecular weight of approximately 536.75 g/mol. As a peptide, it is typically administered intravenously when used as an ADC payload. Detailed pharmacokinetic properties of the free drug are not extensively reported, as the compound is primarily used as a payload in ADCs where its pharmacokinetics are determined by the antibody conjugate.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Hemiasterlin is a highly cytotoxic compound that induces mitotic arrest and cell death. As a potent inhibitor of tubulin polymerization, it has significant toxicity towards rapidly dividing cells. When used as an ADC payload, toxicity is targeted to cells expressing the antigen recognized by the antibody. The compound is classified as a research-grade chemical and is not intended for human use as a free drug.

*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.
