CLASS
Docetaxel is an antineoplastic agent which acts by promoting the
assembly of tubulin into stable
microtubules and inhibits their disassembly which leads to a marked
decrease of free tubulin. The
binding of docetaxel to microtubules does not alter the number of
protofilaments.
PHARMACODYNAMICS
MECHANISM OF ACTION
Docetaxel has been shown in vitro to disrupt the microtubular network
in cells which is essential
for vital mitotic and interphase cellular functions.
_PRECLINICAL DATA _
Docetaxel was found to be cytotoxic
_in vitro _
against various murine and human tumour cell lines
and against freshly excised human tumour cells in clonogenic assays.
Docetaxel achieves high
intracellular concentrations with a long cell residence time. In
addition, docetaxel was found to be
active on some, but not all, cell lines overexpressing the
p-glycoprotein which is encoded by the
multidrug resistance gene. In vivo, docetaxel is schedu
