Comment: Epothilone B is a macrolide from plant (Sorangium cellulosum, a soil-dwelling Gram-negative myxobacterium), Aspergillus fumigatus [3] and insect (Apis cerana, Asiatic honey bee) sources. It mimics the microtubule binding activity of taxoid drugs such as paclitaxel (taxol) [1,5], but is active in [4] paclitaxel resistant cells. It acts to stabilise microtubules, which induces mitotic arrest and cell death.
