Product Description
Pironetin is an α/β unsaturated lactone extracted from Streptomyces species. Pironetin binds to α-tubulin and is a potent inhibitor of microtubule polymerization with cell cycle arrest and anti-tumor activity.
Pironetin (CAS 151519-02-7) is an α,β-unsaturated lactone polyketide isolated from Streptomyces species. It functions as a potent inhibitor of microtubule polymerization by covalently binding to α-tubulin at Lys352. This binding leads to cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase and exhibits antitumor activity. Pironetin is used in research as a microtubule-destabilizing agent and a tool for studying tubulin dynamics and cancer cell proliferation.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Pironetin targets α-tubulin, covalently binding to Lys352 of the α-tubulin subunit. This covalent binding inhibits microtubule polymerization, leading to disruption of the mitotic spindle and cell cycle arrest. The compound’s binding site was determined through systematic alanine scanning. As a microtubule destabilizer, Pironetin prevents the assembly of tubulin heterodimers into microtubules, thereby blocking mitotic progression.
ln Vitro
Treatment with pironetin (20–100 ng/mL; 24 hours; 3Y1 cells) stops the advancement of the cell cycle at G2/M [1]. HeLa, A2780, and K-NRK cells were treated with pironetin (1–10,000 ng/mL) for three days, which decreased cell proliferation. These cell lines have IC50 values of approximately 10 ng/mL [1].
Pironetin treatment stops cell cycle progression at G2/M in 3Y1 cells at concentrations of 20–100 ng/mL for 24 hours. It inhibits cell proliferation in HeLa, A2780, and K-NRK cells with IC50 values of approximately 10 ng/mL after 3 days of treatment. The compound shows potent cytotoxicity across multiple cancer cell lines. It binds to α-tubulin and is a potent inhibitor of microtubule polymerization.
ln Vivo
Although pironetin (0.78–6.25 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; for 5 days; female CDF1–SLC mice) therapy resulted in significant weight reduction, it also had mild anticancer effects [1].
Pironetin demonstrates moderate antitumor effects in vivo. In female CDF1-SLC mice (10 weeks) injected with P388 murine leukemia cells, treatment with Pironetin at 0.78–6.25 mg/kg via intraperitoneal injection daily for 5 days resulted in moderate anti-tumor effects, though significant weight reduction was also observed. The compound’s antitumor activity is attributed to its microtubule polymerization inhibition and cell cycle arrest properties.
Enzyme Assay
Specific cell-free enzyme/receptor binding assay protocols for Pironetin involve assessing its binding to α-tubulin. Covalent binding to Lys352 of α-tubulin can be confirmed using mass spectrometry or alanine scanning mutagenesis. Microtubule polymerization assays are performed using purified tubulin in the presence of Pironetin, measuring the inhibition of polymerization spectrophotometrically. Binding affinity and kinetics can be determined using surface plasmon resonance or isothermal titration calorimetry.
Cell Assay
Cell Cycle Analysis[1]
Cell Types: 3Y1 Cell
Tested Concentrations: 20 ng/mL, 50 ng/mL, 100 ng/mL
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Prevents cell cycle progression at G2/M in 3Y1 cells.

Cell proliferation assay[1]
Cell Types: HeLa, A2780 and K-NRK Cell
Tested Concentrations: 1 ng/mL, 10 ng/mL, 100 ng/mL, 1000 ng/mL and 10000 ng/mL
Incubation Duration: 3 days
Experimental Results: Inhibit cell proliferation.
In vitro cell-based assays for Pironetin use various cancer cell lines including 3Y1, HeLa, A2780, and K-NRK cells. For cell cycle analysis, cells are treated with 20–100 ng/mL for 24 hours, and cell cycle distribution is analyzed by flow cytometry. For cell proliferation assays, cells are treated with 1–10,000 ng/mL for 3 days, and viability is assessed using standard assays to determine IC50 values (approximately 10 ng/mL).
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Female CDF1-SLC mice (10 weeks) were injected with P388 murine leukemia cells [1]
Doses: 0.78 mg/kg, 1.56 mg/kg, 3.13 mg/kg, 6.25 mg/kg
Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection; daily The; 5-day continuous
Experimental Results: demonstrated moderate anti-tumor effects.
In vivo animal studies for Pironetin use female CDF1-SLC mice (10 weeks) injected with P388 murine leukemia cells. Pironetin is administered at doses of 0.78, 1.56, 3.13, and 6.25 mg/kg via intraperitoneal injection daily for 5 consecutive days. Tumor growth inhibition, body weight changes, and survival are monitored. Moderate antitumor effects are observed, though significant weight reduction occurs at higher doses.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Detailed pharmacokinetic properties of Pironetin are not extensively reported. The compound has a molecular formula of C19H32O4 and a molecular weight of 324.46 g/mol. It has a LogP of 3.498, a density of 0.993 g/cm³, a boiling point of 473.1°C at 760 mmHg, and a flash point of 160.3°C. It appears as a colorless to off-white ointment. The compound contains one hydrogen bond donor, four hydrogen bond acceptors, and nine rotatable bonds, with six defined stereocenters.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicological data for Pironetin are limited. In in vivo studies, Pironetin treatment at 0.78–6.25 mg/kg resulted in significant weight reduction in mice. The compound is classified for research use only and is not intended for human therapeutic use. As a microtubule polymerization inhibitor that arrests the cell cycle at G2/M, potential toxicities would relate to effects on rapidly dividing normal tissues. Formal toxicological profiles are not detailed in the available sources.
