Notes: Spliceosomes mediate the processing of pre-mRNA into mature mRNA.{27002,27000} Each spliceosome is a multiunit complex containing several proteins and RNA molecules that work in unison to repeatedly cleave and rejoin segments of mRNA.{27002, 27000} Pladienolide B is a macrocyclic lactone that selectively binds splicing factor 3b and inhibits mRNA splicing.{27003,27004} Through this action, pladienolide B potently blocks the growth of proliferating cells with mean IC50 values of 1.6 nM for six gastric cancer cell lines.{27005,27001} In xenograft tumors generated in mice using human cancer cells, pladienolide B blocks mRNA splicing and induces apoptosis, clearing tumors within two weeks after treatment.{27001}
