Tubulysin E is a highly cytotoxic anti-microtubule toxin (anti-microtubule toxins) that is synthesized as an ADC cytotoxin (ADC Cytotoxin). Tubulysin E can be isolated from the myxobacteria Archangium geophyra and Angiococcus disciformis. Tubulysin E displays extremely potent cytotoxic activity in mammalian cells, including multidrug-resistant cell lines, with IC50 values in the low nanomolar range. Tubulysin E inhibits microtubule/Tubulin polymerization and leads to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis[1][2].

ChEBI: Tubulysin E is a butyrate ester.
