Tubulysin
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Tubulysin is a microtubule destabilizer that binds to the β-tubulin peptide site adjacent to the vinca alkaloid binding site and inhibits tubulin polymerization. Tubulysin induces apoptosis and exhibits antiproliferative activity against a variety of human cancer cells, including multidrug-resistant strains. Tubulysin can be conjugated to antibodies via a disulfide-containing quaternary ammonium linker for ADC synthesis. Tubulysin is applicable to tumor-related research.

Tubulysin is commonly utilized as a representative scaffold or tool compound in mechanistic studies and the development of Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs). An Antibody-Drug Conjugate (ADC) is a novel therapeutic modality consisting of a humanized or fully human monoclonal antibody chemically linked to a highly cytotoxic small molecule (payload); it holds immense potential to drive a paradigm shift in cancer chemotherapy. This antibody-based molecular platform enables the selective delivery of potent cytotoxic payloads to targeted cancer cells, thereby enhancing therapeutic efficacy, reducing systemic toxicity, and achieving superior pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and biodistribution compared to traditional chemotherapy.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (2.97 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (2.97 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
