  • Title: [Antimicrotubule agents].
    Author: Niitani H, Hisakatsu S.
    Journal: Gan To Kagaku Ryoho; 1993 Jan; 20(1):34-41. PubMed ID: 8093658.
    Abstract:
    Microtubules are among the most strategic subcellular targets of anticancer agents. Recently, new antimicrotubule agents have been introduced to clinical cancer chemotherapy. Navelbine is a new derivative of vinca alkaloids, which especially has an activity against NSCLC. Unlike classical anti-microtubules agents like colchitine and vinca alkaloids, which induce depolymerization of microtubules, taxol has an unique mechanism of action which induces tubulin polymerization. Taxotere, an analogue of taxol is slightly more active as a promoter of tubulin polymerization than Taxol. E7010 is a novel sulfonamide that inhibits tubulin polymerization. Results of preclinical and clinical studies of these agents are reviewed.
