Mertansine (DM1) is a microtubulin inhibitor and is an antibody-conjugatable maytansinoid that is developed to overcome systemic toxicity associated with maytansine and to enhance tumor-specific delivery. Mertansine can be attached to a monoclonal antibody with a linker to create an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) [1] [2] .

Maytansinoids |
Mertansine is a strong antiproliferative chemotherapeutics toward over 60 types of cancer cell lines
[3]
.
Mertansine (0-1 μg/mL) shows antitumor activity in malignant B16F10 melanoma cells, and inhibits tumor cell growth by inhibiting mitosis when combined with DTX
[3]
.

Cell Proliferation Assay
| Cell Line: | Malignant B16F10 melanoma cells [3] |
| Concentration: | 0, 0.01, 0.1, and 1 μg/mL |
| Incubation Time: | 4 h |
| Result: | Showed antitumor activity in malignant B16F10 melanoma cells, with an IC 50 of 0.092 μg/mL. Co-delivery of DTX and DM1, both of which inhibit tumor cell growth by inhibiting mitosis, is an effective strategy to achieve a combinatorial anticancer effect. |
Mertansine (DM1) has a low maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of 1 mg/kg [3]
