Central nervous system injury,specifically traumatic brain and spinal cord injury,can have significant long lasting effects.There are no comprehensive treatments to combat the injury and sequalae of events that occurr...
This review describes the mechanism of action-inhibition of microtubules-and the most important mechanisms of resistance for vinca alkaloids,taxanes and epothilones.Resistance is a major problem in vinca and taxane ch...

A sequential statistical approach was applied to optimizing the fermentation medium of epothilones(Epos) production by means of a mutant which was obtained by treating polyangium cellulosum ATCC 15384 with nitrite a...
Epothilones belong to a class of novel microtubule stabilizing and anti-mitotic agents, which have a paclitaxel-like mechanism of action. A three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) mo...
