Apexbio Technology LLC EPOTHILONE B 1ML
Epothilone B (EPO906 Patupilone CAS 152044-54-7) is a naturally occurring macrocyclic lactone initially isolated from the myxobacterium Sorangium cellulosum Sharing a mechanism of action similar to paclitaxel Epothilone B stabilizes microtubules thereby inhibiting cellular mitosis In vitro Epothilone B displays potent cytotoxic activity with an EC0 01 of approximately 1 8 nM Importantly Epothilone B effectively counters resistance mediated via P-glycoprotein which confers paclitaxel resistance and exhibits superior aqueous solubility compared to paclitaxel Research indicates Epothilone B treatment elevates intracellular free calcium and cytosolic cytochrome C in ovarian cancer SKOV-3 cells highlighting its utility as a research tool in cancer biology and chemotherapy resistance studies
