In Vitro

Epothilone D (KOS-862) is a more potent microtubule stabilizer in vitro than epothilone A or B. In vitro, Epothilone D has shown potent cytotoxicity in a panel of human tumor cell lines, with similar potency to paclitaxel. Epothilone D also shows a definite advantage over paclitaxel in drug-resistant cell lines, and retained its cytotoxicity against a multidrug resistant cell line over-expressing P-glycoprotein[1]. Epothilone D (EpoD) is a microtubules (MTs)-stabilizing agent[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

To evaluate whether Epothilone D (EpoD) improves MT and axonal function in PS19 mice, groups of 3-month old male PS19 mice received weekly i.p. injections of vehicle or Epothilone D (EpoD) (1 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg) for a total of 3 months. In addition, 3-month old non-Tg littermates received 3 mg/kg Epothilone D (EpoD) or vehicle. The 3 mg/kg Epothilone D (EpoD) dose corresponds to ~10-fold less than that used in a Phase II clinical study, which should minimize side-effects such as neutropenia that are observed with MT-stabilizing drugs in human subjects. PS19 and WT mice that receive Epothilone D (EpoD) show no signs of drug intolerance. Indeed, all drug-treated mice exhibited weight gain that is indistinguishable from vehicle-treated animals. Likewise, relative organ weights are similar in vehicle- and Epothilone D (EpoD)-treated mice. The motor performance of Epothilone D (EpoD)-treated mice, assessed using a standard rotarod test, is not significantly different from vehicle-treated cohorts. Finally, although there is minor group-to-group variability, there are no significant differences in white blood cell counts or neutrophil content between any of the treatment cohorts. Thus, the low doses of Epothilone D (EpoD) utilized in these studies appeared to be well tolerated[2].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.08 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.08 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Mice[2]
Groups of mice (n=3) receive intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections of 3.7 mg/kg of Epothilone D (epoD) dissolved in 100% DMSO, followed by euthanization using approved at times ranging from 0.25 h to 24 h. In another study, groups of mice (n=3) receive injections of 3 mg/kg of epoD in 100% DMSO followed by euthanization 4, 6 and 10 days later. The Epothilone D (epoD) levels in brain and blood samples are determined using LC-MS/MS protocols. Groups (n=10-13) of 3-month old PS19 tau Tg mice or 3-month old non-Tg littermates are administered weekly i.p. injections of 1 mg/kg epoD, 3 mg/kg of Epothilone D (epoD) or vehicle (DMSO), for a total of 3 months. Animals are monitored for signs of abnormal behavior or distress, and are weighed weekly. After final dosing, the mice undergo motor function and cognitive testing. After euthanization, brains and optic nerve (ON) are recovered for immunohistochemical analyses. A subset of mice from each group also undergo necropsy evaluation with organ weights recorded.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
