| Targets |
Rosabulin targets tubulin, the protein that polymerizes to form microtubules. It binds to tubulin in a similar manner as colchicine. By binding to tubulin, rosabulin inhibits microtubule assembly, disrupting the mitotic spindle and leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. This mechanism classifies it as a microtubule inhibitor and vascular-disrupting agent.

| ln Vitro |
Rosabulin (STA 5312) has IC50 values that reach the nanomolar range and demonstrates strong in vitro antiproliferative activity against a range of cancer cell lines, including blood and solid tumor cell lines of different sources (e.g., leukemia, lymphoma, breast cancer, colon cancer, and uterine cancer). Rosabulin also has a non-drug-resistant (MDR) phenotype on cell lines. Rosabulin acts by preventing the assembly of microtubules, which stops the cell cycle [1].
Rosabulin inhibits microtubule assembly in vitro. It binds to tubulin in a similar manner as colchicine. As a vascular-disrupting agent, it disrupts tumor vasculature and suppresses tumor cell proliferation. Its broad-spectrum anti-tumor activity has been demonstrated in preclinical studies. |
| ln Vivo |
Rosabulin (STA 5312) when given orally or intravenously exhibits in vivo action in a range of mice malignancies as well as human tumor xenograft models, including drug-resistant tumors [1].
Rosabulin is an orally active compound with broad-spectrum anti-tumor activity in vivo. As a vascular-disrupting agent, it disrupts tumor vasculature, leading to tumor necrosis and suppression of tumor cell proliferation. It has been evaluated in preclinical models of various cancers, showing potential as an anticancer therapeutic. |
| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro activity of Rosabulin is assessed using tubulin polymerization assays. In these assays, purified tubulin is incubated with the compound, and the extent of microtubule assembly is measured spectrophotometrically. The compound's ability to inhibit tubulin polymerization is assessed, and IC50 values are calculated.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cell-based assays are used to evaluate Rosabulin's antiproliferative activity. Various cancer cell lines are treated with Rosabulin at various concentrations, and cell viability is measured using MTT, XTT, or CellTiter-Glo assays after 48-72 hours of treatment. The compound's ability to disrupt the mitotic spindle can be assessed by immunofluorescence staining of tubulin. IC50 values for proliferation inhibition are calculated.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Rosabulin has been evaluated in murine xenograft models of various cancers. In these studies, the compound is typically administered orally to tumor-bearing mice. Tumor volumes are measured twice weekly, and body weight is monitored for toxicity. The compound's ability to inhibit tumor growth and disrupt tumor vasculature is assessed.

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Rosabulin is a research compound and its full toxicological profile is not detailed in the available literature. As a microtubule inhibitor and vascular-disrupting agent, it has the potential for significant toxicity, particularly on rapidly dividing cells and endothelial cells. Its safety profile would be evaluated in preclinical toxicology studies for its development as a therapeutic agent.

| Additional Infomation |
Roxabulin is a small-molecule angiogenic agent with potential antimitotic and antitumor activities. Similar to colchicine, roxabulin binds to tubulin and inhibits microtubule assembly. This leads to disruption of the cytoskeleton of tumor endothelial cells, ultimately resulting in cell cycle arrest and cell division arrest. By disrupting proliferating vascular cells, tumor blood flow is reduced, ultimately leading to decreased tumor cell proliferation.
Rosabulin (CAS#: 501948-05-6) is a potent and orally active microtubule inhibitor, also known as STA 5312. It binds to tubulin in a similar manner as colchicine and inhibits microtubule assembly. As a vascular-disrupting agent, it disrupts tumor vasculature and suppresses tumor cell proliferation. Rosabulin has broad-spectrum anti-tumor activity and is a valuable research tool for studying microtubule biology and cancer therapy. |
