Product Description
Larotaxel (XRP9881) is a semi-synthetic taxane analogue with potential antineoplastic activities and preclinical activity against taxane-resistant breast cancer. Larotaxel binds to tubulin, promoting microtubule assembly and stabilization and preventing microtubule depolymerization, thereby inhibiting cell proliferation. As it represents poor substrate for P-glycoprotein-related drug resistance mechanisms, this agent may be useful for treating multi-drug resistant tumors. Larotaxel penetrates the blood brain barrier.
Larotaxel (XRP-9881) (CAS 156294-36-9) is a semisynthetic taxane derivative and a member of the taxoid class of anticancer agents. It is a potent antimicrotubule agent that stabilizes microtubules and induces mitotic arrest, leading to apoptosis in cancer cells. Larotaxel was developed as a next-generation taxane with improved properties over paclitaxel and docetaxel, including activity against taxane-resistant tumors, better penetration of the blood-brain barrier, and oral bioavailability. It has been investigated for the treatment of various solid tumors including breast, lung, prostate, and pancreatic cancers.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Larotaxel targets the β-tubulin subunit of microtubules, binding to the taxane-binding site and stabilizing microtubule polymers. This stabilization prevents microtubule depolymerization, leading to mitotic arrest at the G₂/M phase of the cell cycle and subsequent apoptosis. Unlike paclitaxel, larotaxel is not a substrate for P-glycoprotein, making it effective against multidrug-resistant tumors that overexpress this efflux pump. It also demonstrates improved brain penetration.
ln Vitro
In vitro, larotaxel demonstrates potent antiproliferative activity against a wide range of cancer cell lines, including those resistant to paclitaxel and docetaxel due to P-glycoprotein overexpression or tubulin mutations. IC₅₀ values are typically in the low nanomolar range. It induces G₂/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Larotaxel also shows activity in cell lines with brain metastases.
ln Vivo
In vivo, larotaxel has demonstrated significant antitumor activity in various xenograft models, including tumors resistant to paclitaxel and docetaxel. It has shown activity in models of breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Larotaxel has also demonstrated the ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and exhibit activity against brain metastases. Oral administration has been shown to be effective in some models.
Enzyme Assay
Antiproliferative assays: Cancer cell lines are cultured in appropriate media and treated with larotaxel at various concentrations (typically 0.1-100 nM) for 48-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT, SRB, or CellTiter-Glo assays. IC₅₀ values are calculated from dose-response curves. For mechanism studies, cell cycle analysis is performed by flow cytometry and apoptosis is evaluated by Annexin V/PI staining and caspase activity assays.
Cell Assay
Cancer cell lines including paclitaxel-sensitive and -resistant lines are cultured in RPMI-1640 or DMEM with 10% FBS at 37°C with 5% CO₂. Cells are seeded in 96-well plates and treated with larotaxel at various concentrations for 48-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed and IC₅₀ values are calculated. For tubulin polymerization assays, purified tubulin is incubated with larotaxel and polymerization is monitored spectrophotometrically.
Animal Protocol
In vivo efficacy studies are conducted in tumor xenograft models. Larotaxel is administered intravenously, orally, or via other routes at specified doses. Tumor growth is monitored over time. Pharmacokinetic parameters are assessed by measuring compound concentrations in plasma and tissues (including brain). Efficacy against brain metastases is evaluated in appropriate models. Toxicity and tolerability are monitored.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Larotaxel has molecular formula C₄₅H₅₃NO₁₄ and molecular weight approximately 831.9. It is a semisynthetic taxane derivative with improved properties over first-generation taxanes. The compound is typically stored as a powder at -20°C and is soluble in DMSO and other organic solvents. Detailed physicochemical properties, formulation guidelines, and handling conditions are available from chemical suppliers.

Additional Infomation
Larotaxel has been used in clinical trials for the treatment of various cancers, including metastatic cancer, breast cancer, breast tumors, and pancreatic tumors. Larotaxel is a semi-synthetic derivative of the taxane compound 10-deacetylated baccatin III and possesses potential antitumor activity. Larotaxel binds to tubulin, promoting microtubule assembly and stabilization, and preventing microtubule depolymerization, thereby inhibiting cell proliferation. Because it is not readily targeted by P-glycoprotein-associated resistance mechanisms, this drug may be effective in treating multidrug-resistant tumors. Larotaxel can cross the blood-brain barrier.
