Nab-Paclitaxel Microtubule Polymer stabilizer

Cat.No.E1068

Nab-Paclitaxel is a novel solvent-free paclitaxel in which the binding ratio of paclitaxel to human albumin is approximately 1:9. It is an anti-microtubule drug that promotes microtubule aggregation in tubulin dimers and inhibits microtubule depolymerization to stabilize the microtubule system. Solutions are unstable and should be fresh-prepared.

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

In vitro

Treating human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells first with gemcitabine followed by Nab-Paclitaxel at 48 hours is found to have the greatest inhibition of cell growth.

In vivo

In mice with human pancreatic cancer xenografts, nab-paclitaxel alone and in combination with gemcitabine deplete the desmoplastic stroma. The intratumoral concentration of gemcitabine is increased by 2.8-fold in mice receiving nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine versus those receiving gemcitabine alone.
