Pilot study of jadomycin B pharmacokinetics and anti-tumoral effects in zebrafish larvae and mouse breast cancer xenograft models.

Despite numerous therapeutic options, multidrug resistance (MDR) remains an obstacle to successful breast cancer therapy. Jadomycin B, a natural product derived from ISP5230, maintains cytotoxicity in MDR human breast cancer cells. Our objectives were to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, toxicity, anti-tumoral, and anti-metastatic effects of jadomycin B in zebrafish larvae and mice.
