| Targets |
Tubulysin M targets tubulin, the protein that polymerizes to form microtubules. By inhibiting tubulin polymerization, it disrupts the mitotic spindle, leading to cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase and subsequent apoptosis. It displays extremely potent cytotoxic activity in mammalian cells, including multidrug-resistant cell lines, with U₅₀ values in the lower nanomolar range.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, Tubulysin M exhibits potent cytotoxic activity against various cancer cell lines, including multidrug-resistant cells, with U₅₀ values in the lower nanomolar range. It inhibits tubulin polymerization and induces depolymerization of isolated microtubules. The compound arrests cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle and induces apoptosis.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity data for Tubulysin M are limited, as it is primarily used as the cytotoxic payload in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). When conjugated to a targeting antibody, it delivers potent cytotoxicity specifically to tumor cells. This approach enhances efficacy while reducing systemic toxicity. Further in vivo studies are needed to characterize its ADC applications.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for Tubulysin M are performed using purified tubulin. The compound's ability to inhibit tubulin polymerization is measured spectrophotometrically by monitoring the increase in turbidity associated with microtubule formation. Depolymerization of pre-formed microtubules is also assessed. The IC₅₀ or U₅₀ values are calculated from concentration-response curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for Tubulysin M are performed using cancer cell lines, including multidrug-resistant lines. Cells are treated with the compound at various concentrations (typically nM range) for 48-72 hours, and cell viability is assessed using MTT, CCK-8, or other cytotoxicity assays. Cell cycle analysis is performed by flow cytometry to measure G2/M arrest. Apoptosis is evaluated by annexin V staining or caspase activity assays.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments for Tubulysin M are typically conducted as part of ADC development. The compound is conjugated to a targeting antibody and administered to mouse xenograft models bearing tumors expressing the target antigen. Efficacy is assessed by measuring tumor volume reduction, and toxicity is monitored by body weight and organ histology.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of Tubulysin M have not been fully characterized. The compound has a molecular weight of 727.95 and molecular formula C₃₈H₅₇N₅O₇S. It is supplied with purity ≥95%. The compound is used as the cytotoxic component in ADCs. Further PK studies are needed to determine its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion profile.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological data for Tubulysin M are not extensively reported. As a highly cytotoxic compound, it is expected to have significant toxicity if administered systemically. This is why it is typically used as a payload in ADCs to achieve targeted delivery to tumor cells. The compound is intended for research purposes only and is not approved for human therapeutic use.

*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.
