Abstract excerpt
HTI-286, a synthetic analogue of hemiasterlin, depolymerizes microtubules and is proposed to bind at the Vinca peptide site in tubulin. It has excellent in vivo antitumor activity in human xenograft models, including tumors that express P-glycoprotein, and is in phase II clinical evaluation. To identify potential mechanisms of resistance induced by HTI-286, KB-3-1 epidermoid carcinoma cells were exposed to...
