In vitro study | Nocodazole is a high affinity ligand for cancer-related kinases, such as phosphorylated ABL, c-KIT, BRAF, and MEK, with K D values of 0.091 μm and 1.6 μm respectively, 1.8 M and 1.6 M,. In addition, the phosphorylation of ABL(E255K) and ABL(T315I) by Nocodazole, the K D values of BRAF(V600E) and PI3Kγ are 0.12 μm and 0.17 μm respectively, 1.1 μm and 1.5 μm. Nocodazole induces apoptosis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells; Inhibits insulin-stimulated glucose transport; Reduces apoptosis in human colon cancer cells; Impairs morphology and directional migration of medial ganglion crest cells. At high concentrations, Nocodazole rapidly depolymerizes microtubules in the cell, while at low concentrations it inhibits the dynamic instability of microtubules. Treating with Nocodazole after 6 hours of synchronized division phase cells, after adding different concentrations of paclitaxel, can cause G 1 phase arrest, the half inhibitory concentration is 4nm. Paclitaxel treated Nocodazole pretreated cells, in the absence of Nocodazole, cells can only form free microtubules, while in the presence of Nocodazole, it can form aggregated centrosome microtubules. By disrupting microtubules by binding to β-tubulin, Nocodazole can block disulfide bond formation and vesicle trafficking, inhibiting METH-induced apoptosis and lysosomal dysfunction. Pretreatment with Nocodazole significantly reduced METH-induced apoptosis. In iPSC, Nocodazole can double the HDR efficiency up to 30%. |
In vivo study | The combined use of Ketoconazole and Nocodazole more strongly inhibited tumor volume and tumor weight in mice than alone. The apoptosis-inducing effect of the combination was also more pronounced than that of the combination alone in the COLO205 tumor transplantation model. |
