Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Ixabepilone is a synthetic epothilone B analog that functions as a microtubule-stabilizing agent targeting tubulin. Upon binding to tubulin, it promotes microtubule polymerization and enhances structural stability, thereby disrupting mitotic spindle assembly. This inhibition disrupts normal cell division by arresting cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle, ultimately triggering downstream signaling pathways that induce apoptotic cell death in cancer cell lines.

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
