The result of biological studies stimulated considerable interest in The result of biological studies stimulated considerable interest in discodermolide as a possible discodermolide as a possible immunosuppressantimmunosuppressant. .
Subsequently studies demonstrated discodermolide is a potent Subsequently studies demonstrated discodermolide is a potent cell growth inhibitory agent, which arrests cell development at the cell growth inhibitory agent, which arrests cell development at the M phase by binding and stabilizing mitotic spindle microtubules. M phase by binding and stabilizing mitotic spindle microtubules. Thus, the ability of (+)-Thus, the ability of (+)-1 1 to inhibit cell growth was suggested to to inhibit cell growth was suggested to resemble the clinically proven resemble the clinically proven anticanceranticancer agent Taxol. agent Taxol.
