Flutax-2 (5/6-mixture)

Flutax-2 (5/6-mixture), an active fluorescent derivative of paclitaxel, binds to polymerized α, β tubulin dimers, with an excitation/emission wavelength of 496/524 nm. Derived from paclitaxel, a diterpenoid secondary metabolite from Taxus species utilized in various cancer research [1], it requires storage protection from light.
