Description

General description

Inhibitor of mitosis. Has highly specific antimicrotubular activity for mammalian cells in culture. Promotes tubulin depolymerization. Also acts as a high-affinity ligand for the cancer-related kinases ABL, c-KIT, BRAF, and MEK (K_d<2 M). The solid form of this compound (Cat. No. 487928) is also available.
