Maytansine
Maytansine (NSC-153858) is a tubulin-binding ansamycin antibiotic that inhibits microtubule assembly by targeting the rhizoxin site. It is widely used as a research tool in cell biology and oncology for studying mitosis, cytoskeleton dynamics, and in preclinical evaluations of antitumor activity both in vitro and in vivo.
