Epothilone B is a 16-membered macrolide that displays microtubule stabilizing properties. Studies have shown that Epothilone B induces tubulin polymerization into microtubules in vitro. Additional experiments suggest that Epothilone B causes cell cycle arrest at the G2 stage and eventually leads to cytotoxicity. EPB′s mechanism of action closely resembles that of paclitaxel. By binding to microtubule tubulin dimers, EPB prevents their depolymerization, ultimately leading to cell death.
