- Product Overview:
Ixabepilone is an epothilone with broad-spectrum anticancer activity against a panel of 21 cancer cell lines (IC50s = 1.4-34.5 nM).{42060} It stabilizes and induces the polymerization of microtubules and induces cell cycle arrest during mitosis. Ixabepilone is cytotoxic to HCT116/VM46 and A2780Tax clonogenic cells, which are resistant to paclitaxel (Item No. 10461; IC90s = 16 and 12.3 nM, respectively, for colony growth inhibition). In vivo, ixabepilone (6.3 and 10 mg/kg, i.v., respectively) shows antitumor activity in paclitaxel-resistant human Pat-21 breast carcinoma and HCT116/VM46 colon carcinoma mouse xenograft models with log cell kill (LCK) values of 1.6 and 2.4, respectively. Ixabepilone (10 mg/kg, i.v.) also increases the time for tumors to quadruple in volume by 7.2, 9, 6.5, 4.7, and >10 weeks, respectively, in mice implanted with Rh18 rhabdomyosarcoma, NB1643 neuroblastoma, WT5 Wilms’ tumor, OS29 osteosarcoma, and BT29 brain carcinoma cells.{42061} Formulations containing ixabepilone have used in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.{26908}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
