Beschreibung

N2'-Deacetyl-N2'-(4-mercapto-4-methyl-1-oxopentyl)-maytansine (DMAP) is a structural analogue of maytansinoids that has potent antitumor activity against renal cell cancer. DMAP binds to the active site of wild type enzyme, and inhibits its activity. DMAP also inhibits the activities of other enzymes that are involved in the synthesis of proteins and other cellular components. The inhibition of these enzymes by DMAP leads to tumor cell death. This drug was found to be more cytotoxic at higher doses than the parent compound, maytansinol, which indicates that DMAP has a higher affinity for its target enzyme. The cytotoxicity of this drug is not affected by platinum resistance in ovarian cancer cells or by P-glycoprotein (Pgp) inhibitors such as verapamil and cyclosporin A.
