Paclitaxel octadecanedioate

Description: Paclitaxel octadecanedioate is a prodrug form of paclitaxel that is comprised of paclitaxel conjugated to 1,18-octadecanedioic acid.1 Unlike paclitaxel, it does not promote tubulin polymerization in vitro when used at a concentration of 10 µM. A 5:1 mixture of paclitaxel octadecanedioate:human serum albumin (HSA) is cytotoxic to HT-1080, PANC-1, and HT-29 cells (IC50s = 12, 2.48, and 8.62 nM, respectively). This mixture reduces tumor growth and increases survival in an HT-1080 mouse xenograft model in a dose-dependent manner. Target: Others.
