Maytansine and vincristine binding to crude rat brain tubulin is a temperature- and ionic strength dependent process. The Ka values for binding of vincristine and maytansine are 0.5 .times. 106 M-1 and 1.5 .times. 106 M-1, respectively. Maytansine competitively inhibits vincristine binding with a Ki. for maytansine of 0.4 .times. 10-6 M. The binding of both antitumor drugs is easily reversible. Unlabeled maytansine rapidly displaces the labeled drug; only about 75% of bound maytansine was displaced by vincristine. Bound labeled vincristine is completely displaced by vincristine or maytansine. Both drugs appear to share a common binding site, although an additional site specific for maytansine seems to be present. Colchicine did not affect vincristine or maytansine binding.
