The primary antimitotic mechanism of action of the synthetic halichondrin E7389 is suppression of microtubule growth
1 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
E7389, which is in phase I and II clinical trials, is a synthetic macrocyclic ketone analogue of the marine sponge natural product halichondrin B. Whereas its mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated, its main target seems to be tubulin and/or the microtubules responsible for the construction and proper function of the mitotic spindle. Like most microtubule-targeted antitumor drugs, it inhibits tumor...
