Treatment with KX2-391 ointment 1%, a dual Src kinase and tubulin polymerization inhibitor, met the primary endpoint of 100% clearance of AK lesions on the face and scalp on day 57 in 44% and 54% of those treated in the two studies, compared with 5% and 13%, respectively, of those in the vehicle groups.
In addition, HDAC6 inhibition can enhance acetylation of cytoplasmic tubulin and lose the capability to clear unfolded or misfolded proteins, thereby promoting cell apoptosis.

Several reports suggest the occurrence of an electrical storm among 10% to 20% of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD ) recipients.1-4 Microtubules are the key components of the cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells and have an important role as railways in various cellular functions such as intracellular migration and vesicle transport, cell shape maintenance, polarity, cell signaling, and mitosis.5 In addition, colchicine binding to beta-tubulin results in curved tubulin dimer and prevents it from adopting a straight structure.
While the cytotoxins used in the majority of advanced programs in the field prevent tubulin polymerization during cell division, Synthon's differentiating linker-drug technology - applying valine-citrulline-seco-DUocarmycin- hydroxyBenzamide-Azaindole (vc-seco-DUBA) - is based on synthetic duocarmycin analogs, which bind to the minor groove of DNA and subsequently cause irreversible alkylation of DNA.
