Epothilone C is a related compound of Epothilones, which are a novel class of antineoplastic agents with antitubulin activity. In addition, Epothilones utilize a similar mechanism of action to that of taxanes and are less susceptible to multidrug resistance caused by P-glycoprotein. Studies showed that Epothilones exhibit antitumor activity against human cancer cells that are taxane-resistant.
