Nocodazole is an anti-mitotic drug and a rapid and reversible microtubule polymerization inhibitor. It inhibits Abl, Abl (E255K), and Abl (T315I) in cell-free assays with IC50 values of 0.21μM, 0.53μM, and 0.64μM, respectively[1]. Nocodazole binds to β-tubulin and disrupts microtubule assembly/disassembly dynamics, thereby arresting mitosis and inducing apoptosis in tumor cells[2]. Nocodazole can increase CRISPR-mediated homologous recombination efficiency, enhancing the precision of gene editing efficacy[3].
In vitro, Nocodazole (50 ng/ml) treatment of HuH7 cells for 16 hours synchronizes approximately 50% of the cells at the G2/M phase, with intracellular microtubule fibers mainly distributed in the peripheral region of the cells and without forming a bipolar spindle[4]. Nocodazole (20µM) treatment of emsCOS-1 cells for 30 minutes results in the dispersion of Golgi stacks throughout the cytoplasm[5]. Nocodazole (1 nM) treatment of CHO cells inhibits microtubule dynamics, slowing migration and increasing the frequency and duration of the resting state while maintaining cell directionality. Nocodazole (70nM) has the opposite effect of low drug concentrations, causing cells to move more randomly[6].
In vivo, Nocodazole (5 mg/kg) administered intraperitoneally for six weeks significantly reduces the tumor volume and weight in mice transplanted with COLO 205 tumors, with enhanced antitumor effects observed when combined with ketoconazole[7].
