Product Description

Paclitaxel Poliglumex (CT-2103; CT2103; PG-TXL; CT 2103; PPX; Opaxio; Xyotax) is a biodegradable conjugate composed of the antitubulin drug paclitaxel and polyglutamate polymer with improved water solubility. Paclitaxel (Taxol) is a tubulin polymerization inhibitor and chemotherapeutic medication approved to treat various cancers.

Targets
Tubulin
ln Vitro
Despite an 80% initial response rate to the standard primary regimen of carboplatin and paclitaxel, most women with ovarian cancer will experience recurrence with incurable disease within five years and will be treated with several successive palliative regimens. Consequently, a significant need exists for chemotherapeutic agents, which are not only clinically efficacious, but have acceptable side-effect profiles. Paclitaxel poliglumex (PPX) is a recently developed taxane in which paclitaxel is conjugated to poly(l-glutamic acid), which renders it water soluble, reduces hypersensitivity reactions and preferentially targets it to the tumor[1].
ln Vivo
Taxanes remain the only agents to extend survival in castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer, but their impact on the natural history of this disease is modest. We sought to test the hypothesis that increased delivery of taxane chemotherapy to the tumor through the use of a macromolecular polymer-drug conjugate of paclitaxel modulated by estradiol could extend the utility of this class of drugs. Patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate who progressed despite standard hormonal therapy and after docetaxel-containing chemotherapy were treated with transdermal estradiol (0.2 mg/24 h) for 4 weeks followed by the same dose of transdermal estradiol and paclitaxel poliglumex (PPX; 150 mg/m intravenous) every 28 days. The primary objective was to determine the level of activity of the regimen measured using a fraction of patients who experienced a confirmed decline in serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) of 50% or more. A two-stage phase II study designed to identify a response rate of > or =25% required three responders among 21 patients in the first stage. Twenty-one patients who received a median of two earlier chemotherapy regimens were enrolled in the trial between March 2007 and May 2008. During the estradiol-only treatment phase, no patient had a PSA decline in excess of 50% and lesser PSA declines that ranged from 8.8 to 34.1% were seen in five patients. No patients achieved a > or =50% PSA decline following the addition of PPX and there were no responses in measurable disease. The median time to progression was 4 weeks. In conclusion, this regimen of low-dose transdermal estradiol induction followed by PPX does not have activity in taxane pretreated patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer[2].

Additional Infomation
Paclitaxel Poliglumex is the agent paclitaxel linked to a biodegradable, water-soluble polyglutamate polymer with antineoplastic properties. The polyglutamate residue increases the water solubility of paclitaxel and allows delivery of higher doses than those achievable with paclitaxel alone. Paclitaxel promotes microtubule assembly and prevents microtubule depolymerization, thus interfering with normal mitosis.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
