Product Description
Taccalonolide B is a microtubule stabilizer extracted from Tacca plantaginea and has anti-tumor activity. Taccalonolide B has significant inhibitory activities on cell lines overexpressing p-glycoprotein (Pgp) and multidrug resistance protein (MRP7) in vitro. Taccalonolide B suppresses the growth of SK-OV-3 cells with IC50 of 208 nM.
Taccalonolide B is a semisynthetic derivative generated by mild base hydrolysis of the naturally occurring microtubule-stabilizing agent Taccalonolide A, specifically by removing the acetyl group at the C15 position. It is a highly acetylated steroid that belongs to the taccalonolide class of compounds isolated from the plant Tacca chantrieri. The taccalonolides are structurally and mechanistically distinct from other microtubule stabilizers like taxanes and epothilones, as they do not bind to the taxane-binding site on tubulin. Taccalonolide B retains the microtubule-stabilizing activity and has been evaluated for its ability to circumvent multiple clinically relevant drug resistance mechanisms, including overexpression of P-glycoprotein (Pgp), multidrug resistance protein 7 (MRP7), and the βIII-tubulin isotype. [2]
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Microtubules (via a mechanism distinct from direct tubulin binding; the specific cellular binding site is not identified in this paper). [2]
ln Vitro
Taccalonolide B inhibits the proliferation of drug-sensitive SK-OV-3 ovarian cancer cells with an IC50 of 208 ± 14 nM. In Pgp-overexpressing SK-OV-3/MDR-1-6/6 cells, the IC50 is 2547 ± 282 nM, resulting in a relative resistance value of 12.2, indicating that Taccalonolide B is significantly better than paclitaxel (860-fold resistance) at circumventing Pgp-mediated resistance. [2]
In HEK293 cells transfected with MRP7 (HEK-MRP7-C17 and HEK-MRP7-C18) compared to vector-transfected control (HEK-pcDNA3), Taccalonolide B does not show substantial resistance. The IC50 values are: HEK-pcDNA3 = 1.66 ± 0.52 µM; HEK-MRP7-C17 = 1.30 ± 0.37 µM (relative resistance 0.78); HEK-MRP7-C18 = 2.07 ± 0.33 µM (relative resistance 1.3). These data indicate that Taccalonolide B circumvents MRP7-mediated drug resistance. [2]
Using an isogenic HeLa cell line that ectopically expresses the βIII-tubulin isotype (wild-type βIII cells), Taccalonolide B shows greater sensitivity compared to parental HeLa cells. The IC50 in HeLa cells is 190 ± 31 nM, while in wild-type βIII cells it is 120 ± 8 nM (relative resistance 0.6). In contrast, paclitaxel shows 4.7-fold resistance (IC50: HeLa = 1.63 ± 0.15 nM; wild-type βIII = 7.73 ± 0.23 nM), docetaxel shows 6.8-fold resistance, and epothilone B shows 2.3-fold resistance in the βIII-expressing cells. [2]
Cell Assay
Antiproliferative effects were evaluated using the sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay. Cells were seeded and treated with various drug concentrations for 48 hours. The concentration causing 50% inhibition of proliferation (IC50) was calculated from graphs of at least seven drug concentrations spanning the entire range of growth inhibition. Experiments were performed three independent times, each using triplicate points. This assay was used for SK-OV-3, SK-OV-3/MDR-1-6/6, HeLa, and wild-type βIII cell lines to determine IC50 values for Taccalonolide B and other compounds. [2]
For MRP7-transfected HEK293 cells, a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, inner salt/phenazine methosulfate (MTS) microtiter plate assay was used. Cells were seeded at 3,000 cells per well in 96-well plates, treated with various drug concentrations the next day, and colorimetric analysis was performed after 72 hours of growth in the presence of drug. This assay was used to assess the sensitivity of HEK-pcDNA3, HEK-MRP7-C17, and HEK-MRP7-C18 cells to Taccalonolide B. [2]
Immunoblot analysis was performed to confirm βIII-tubulin expression in wild-type βIII cells. Cellular protein was isolated, separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose membranes, and probed with monoclonal β-tubulin isotype-specific antibodies. This confirmed that βI-, βII-, and βIV-tubulins were expressed at equivalent levels in HeLa and wild-type βIII cells, and βIII-tubulin was detected only in the wild-type βIII cells. [2]
Indirect immunofluorescence was used to visualize mitotic spindles containing βIII-tubulin (green) or Aurora A (red) with nuclear staining (blue) in HeLa and wild-type βIII cells. This confirmed that βIII-tubulin was correctly localized to the mitotic spindle in the expressing cells. [2]

Additional Infomation
Reports indicate that konjac plants (Tacca chantrieri) and Tacca plantaginea contain konjac lactone B, and relevant data are available for reference.
Taccalonolide B is generated from Taccalonolide A via mild base hydrolysis that removes the acetyl group at the C15 position. This chemical modification significantly increases potency, as evidenced by at least a 3-fold decrease in the IC50 value of Taccalonolide B compared to Taccalonolide A in nearly every cell line tested. [2]
Taccalonolide B, along with other taccalonolides, represents a unique class of microtubule stabilizers that do not bind directly to tubulin. Their ability to circumvent Pgp-, MRP7-, and βIII-tubulin-mediated resistance suggests they may have advantages over taxanes in treating drug-resistant tumors. [2]
