Epothilone D is a natural polyketide compound isolated from the myxobacterium Sorangium cellulosum. Also known as desoxyepothilone B, epothilone D binds to tubulin and inhibits the disassembly of microtubules, resulting in the inhibition of mitosis, cellular proliferation, and cell motility. Intermediary obtained in the synthesis of members of the Epothilone family, polyketide natural products that inhibit cancer cells via a mechanism similar to Paclitaxel. Epothilone D also found to be effective against Paclitaxel-resistant tumors. Epothilone D currently in Phase I of clinical testing.
