1 OBJECTIVE: We determined the cytotoxic effects BMS 247550 (Epo B), a derivative of epothilone B, on cisplatinum- or paclitaxel-sensitive or -resistant human ovarian cancer cells. Cisplatin erythropoietin Homo sapiens
2 Epo B was able to exert cytotoxic effects against cisplatinum- and paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancer cells. Cisplatin erythropoietin Homo sapiens
3 CONCLUSIONS: These data support the in vivo testing of Epo B against cisplatinum- and paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancers, and suggest that a pretreatment with Epo B may sensitize human ovarian cancers to the cytotoxic effects of Apo-2L/TRAIL. Cisplatin erythropoietin Homo sapiens
