Preferred Label : Microtubule Destabilizer PM534;
NCIt synonyms : Antitubulin Agent PM534; Tubulin Destabilizer PM534;
NCIt definition : A marine-derived tubulin destablizer, with antineoplastic and antiangiogenic activities.
Upon administration, microtubule destabilizer PM534 targets and binds to beta-tubulin
at the colchicine site and thereby destabilizes the microtubular network in the tumor
cell, which inhibits the polymerization of microtubules and leads to cell cycle arrest,
blockage of cell division and an induction of cell death in cancer cells. In addition,
PM534 is a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis, which prevents the formation of blood
vessels necessary for tumor growth.;
