Abstract

Dictyostatin-1 has been found to stabilize microtubules and prohibit their depolymerization to free tubulin. Because of these activities, the dictyostatin compounds can be used in the treatment of a number of diseases in which aberrant cellular proliferation occurs such as drug-sensitive and drug-resistant cancers, autoimmune disorders, and inflammatory diseases.
