Abstract excerpt
Epothilones, like paclitaxel, bind to beta-tubulin and stabilize microtubules. We selected a series of four leukemia sublines that display increasing levels of resistance to the epothilone analog desoxyepothilone B (dEpoB). The dEpoB cells selected in 30-140 nM were approximately 15-fold cross-resistant to paclitaxel, while 300 nM selected cells were 467-fold resistant to this agent. The dEpoB-selected cells are...
