Biological Activity

Description Nocodazole is a rapidly-reversible inhibitor of microtubule polymerization, also inhibits Abl, Abl(E255K) and Abl(T315I) with IC50 of 0.21 μM, 0.53 μM and 0.64 μM in cell-free assays, respectively. Nocodazole induces apoptosis.
Targets
Microtubules [2]
(Cell-free assay)		 Abl [1]
(Cell-free assay)		 Abl (E255K) [1]
(Cell-free assay)		 Abl (T315I) [1]

In vitro

Nocodazole is a high-affinity ligand for the cancer-related kinases including Abl phosphorylated, c-Kit, BRAF, and MEK with Kd of 0.091 μM, 1.6 μM, 1.8 μM and 1.6 μM, respectively. In addition, the Kd of Nocodazole for Abl(E255K) phosphorylated, Abl(T315I) phosphorylated, BRAF(V600E) and PI3Kγ is 0.12 μM, 0.17 μM, 1.1 μM and 1.5 μM, respectively. Nocodazole induces apoptosis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells. Nocodazole inhibits insulin-stimulated glucose transport. Nocodazole decreases apoptosis in some human colon carcinoma cells. Nocodazole impairs the morphology and directionality of migrating medial gan-glionic eminence cells. [1]

At high concentrations, Nocodazole rapidly depolymerizes microtubules in cells, while low concentrations of Nocodazole inhibit microtubule dynamic instability. [2]

Mitotic cells incubated with different concentrations are inhibited from progressing to G1 phase 6 hours after release from the Nocodazole block, with a median inhibitory concentration of 4 nM. Nocodazole-pretreated cells exposed in the absence of Nocodazole only form free-floating microtubules, whereas pretreated cells exposed in the presence of Nocodazole-assembled centrosome organize microtubules. [3]

Nocodazole disrupts microtubules by binding to β-tubulin. Nocodazole prevents the formation of one of the two interchain disulfide linkages. Nocodazole impairs the transport of vesicles. Nocodazole suppress METH-induced cell death and lysosomal dysfunction. METH-induced cell death is significantly decreased by Nocodazole pretreatment in comparison to METH alone. [4]

Nocodazole doubles HDR efficiency to up to 30% in iPSCs. It improves the CRISPR-mediated HDR efficiency and has an additive effect on enhancing precise genome editing[6].
In vivo

The tumor volume and tumor weight of the mice treated with Nocodazole are significantly reduced as compared with those treated with Nocodazole alone. Combined treatment with Nocodazole strongly enhances apoptosis of COLO 205 tumor xenografts treated with Nocodazole alone. [5]
