Ixabepilone (INN; also known as azaepothilone B, codenamed BMS-247550) is a pharmaceutical drug developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb as a chemotherapeutic medication for cancer.[1]

History[]

Ixabepilone is a semi-synthetic analog of epothilone B, a natural chemical compound produced by Sorangium cellulosum.[2] Epothilone B itself could not be developed as a pharmaceutical drug because of poor metabolic stability and pharmacokinetics.[3] Ixabepilone was designed through medicinal chemistry to improve upon these properties.[3]

Pharmacology[]

Much like Taxol, Ixabepilone acts to stabilize microtubules.[4][5][6] It is highly potent, capable of damaging cancer cells in very low concentrations, and retains activity in cases where tumor cells are insensitive to taxane type drugs.[7]

Approval[]

On October 16, 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved ixabepilone for the treatment of aggressive metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer no longer responding to currently available chemotherapies.[8] In November 2008, the EMEA has refused a marketing authorisation for Ixabepilone.[9]

Ixabepilone is administered through injection, and is marketed under the trade name Ixempra.

Clinical uses[]

Ixabepilone, in combination with capecitabine, has demonstrated effectiveness in the treatment of metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer in patients after failure of an anthracycline and a taxane.[10]

It has been investigated for use in treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.[11] In pancreatic cancer phase two trial it showed some promising results (used alone). Combination therapy trials are ongoing.[7]
