Description Research Excerpts Clinical Trials Roles Classes Pathways Study Profile Bioassays Related Drugs Related Conditions Protein Interactions Research Growth

Acodazole is a potent microtubule-stabilizing agent that has shown promising preclinical activity against a range of cancers. Its mechanism of action involves binding to tubulin, a protein that forms microtubules, and preventing their depolymerization. This stabilization of microtubules leads to disruption of cell division and ultimately cell death. Acodazole has been investigated for its potential as a treatment for various cancers, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and leukemia. Studies have demonstrated its ability to inhibit tumor growth and induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Acodazole’s unique mechanism of action and its ability to overcome resistance to other microtubule-targeting drugs make it a promising candidate for further clinical development. Research efforts are ongoing to explore its efficacy and safety in human patients.'
