Maytansinol, also known as Ansamitocin P-0, is a potent microtubule-depolymerizing agent that has demonstrated antitumor activity. It’s used in research as a precursor for creating maytansinoid antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), which are being explored as targeted cancer therapies. Maytansinol itself can induce apoptosis and inhibit microtubule assembly. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a semi-synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Ansamitocin P-0 and ZWJ9A2AJ2U. It is also listed for alternate use as: API Intermediate. Its PubChem CID is 9915934.
