| Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Synthesis]
 Maytansinol was prepared using anserine P3 as a raw material. 100g of AP3 was added to a reaction flask equipped with a thermometer and a dropping funnel. Then, 500ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran was added to the reaction flask. Under nitrogen protection at -10℃ to 10℃, a 1mol/L LiAl(t-Bu)3H tetrahydrofuran solution was added dropwise. After the LiAl(t-Bu)3H tetrahydrofuran solution was completely added, the reaction solution was maintained at -10℃ to 10℃ and stirred for 2 to 5 hours. The reaction solution was further cooled to 0℃ to 4℃, and 150ml of water was added dropwise. After the water was added, the reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at a temperature of -10°C to 10°C. Then, 200 ml of ethyl acetate solution containing 1% formic acid was added. After the reaction was complete, the white precipitate was removed by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated to obtain a white foamy solid, which was then subjected to column chromatography in a methanol/dichloromethane gradient of 1% to 4% to obtain 66 g of Maytansinol as a white solid, with a yield of 87%. |

| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Maytansinol (Ansamitocin P-0) is an inhibitor of microtubule assembly that induces microtubule disassembly in vitro. | [Uses]
Maytansinol is used in the preparation of site-specific trastuzumab maytansinoid antibody-drug conjugates with improved therapeutic activity. References Pillow, T.H., et. al.: J. Med. Chem., 57, 7890 (2014) | [Biological Activity]
Maytansinol is an ansamacrolide originally isolated from P. verrucose that has antimitotic and anticancer activities. It inhibits polymerization and induces depolymerization of bovine brain tubulin with EC50 values of 12 and 43 μM, respectively. Maytansinol inhibits sea urchin egg mitosis when used at a concentration of 10 μM and decreases proliferation of KB nasopharyngeal cancer cells (EC50 = 0.19 μg/ml). | [Mode of action]
Maytansinol (1 b) was first obtained by Kupchan et?al. both by isolation from Putterlickia verrucose and chemical removal of the acyl group from the hydroxy group at the C3 position. It showed weaker inhibitory activity on tubulin polymerization than maytansine, thus implying that the ester moiety at the C3 position of ansamitocins, maytansine, and maytansinoids plays an important role for biological activity and cell permeability. In fact, it has just recently been found that the carbonyl oxygen atom of the ester moiety forms a strong intramolecular interaction with the hydroxy group at position 9, fixing the bioactive conformation. Maytansinol has been regarded as a valuable precursor because acylation allows the preparation of both natural and new semisynthetic maytansinoids, differing in the ester side-chain substituents (Scheme 1). The acylation reaction of maytansinol is a crucial step in the preparation of maytansinoid ADCs or nanoparticles, constituting an uprising class of targeted cancer therapeutics. A few attempts to conjugate maytansinoids to peptides by this reaction have also been made very recently. Furthermore, considering that the maytansine binding site is one of the most recently identified and least explored on tubulin, acylation of maytansinol may serve for the preparation of useful molecular probes to better understand the structure-activity relationships of maytansinoids or to identify new maytansine-site ligands.
