Description

Veribulin is a novel microtubule destabilizer that both functions as a potent cytotoxin and acts as a vascular disrupting agent (VDA). It binds to the same (or nearby) sites on β-tubulin as colchicine. It is capable of evading multidrug resistance pumps and, thus, achieves high CNS concentrations. It is efficacious in multiple xenograft models without CNS toxicity. Veribulin had previously demonstrated pre-clinical and clinical activity in multiple tumor types. Veribulin is in phase II clinical trial for the treatment of Glioblastoma and Malignant melanoma.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Verubulin was administered at 3.3 mg/m(2) as a 2-h intravenous infusion once weekly for 3 consecutive weeks in a 4-week cycle.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
In Vitro Use Guide
Verubulin was highly active in HCT116 and SNU-398 cells with EC50 values of 3 nM and 2 nM, respectively, similar to its high activity in T47D cells.
