Description: | Maytansine is a highly potent microtubule-targeted compound that induces mitotic arrest and kills tumor cells at subnanomolar concentrations[1]. |
In Vitro: | Maytansine, at 6x10-8 M, irreversibly inhibits cell division in eggs of sea urchins and clams. Maytansine causes the disappearance of a mitotic apparatus or prevents one from forming if added at early stages. Maytansine does inhibit in vitro polymerization of tubulin. Maytansine inhibits in vitro polymerization of tubulin[2]. |
