Simotaxel (MST 997) is an orally active derivative of the taxane class. Simotaxel binds to beta-tubulin and promotes tubulin polymerization (EC50 = 0.9 µM), inhibits tubulin depolymerization, and causes cell cycle arrest at the G2-M phase. Simotaxel disrupts the formation of the mitotic spindle and triggers the caspase-dependent apoptotic pathway (apoptosis). Simotaxel has inhibitory effects on Paclitaxel (HY-B0015) sensitive cell lines and overcomes drug resistance. Simotaxel can be used to study Paclitaxel / Docetaxel (HY-B0011) resistant solid tumors[1].
