Dolastatin 15 (DLS 15) induces cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase followed by apoptosis in various human myeloma cell lines (RPMI8226, U266, and IM9). Dolastatin 15 induces apoptosis of myeloma cells via activation of both mitochondrial- and Fas (CD95)/Fas-L (CD95-L)-mediated pathways. Dolastatin 15 (DLS 15) displays growth inhibitory activity against all four SCLC cell lines (NCI-H69, NCI-H82, NCI-H345, NCI-H446) with IC50 values ranging from 0.039-28.8 nM, which were 2.7-9.2-fold higher than the values for dolastatin 10. All four SCLC cell lines underwent G2/M arrest within 24 hours of exposure to dolastatin 15.
