USES 

Ac tio n s  

PACLITAXEL is an antimicrotubule agent that
promotes the assembly of microtubules from tubulin 
dimers.  It stabilises microtubules by preventing depolymerisation resulting in the inhibition of 
the normal dynamic reorganisation of the microtubule network
essential for cellular functions.  
PACLITAXEL also
induces abnormal arrays of "bundles" of microtubules throughout the cell cycle 
and multiple asters of microtubules during mitosis. 

P h a rm a c o kin e tic s  

The pharmacokinetics of PACLITAXEL have been evaluated
over a wide range doses, up to 300 
mg/m
2
, and infusion schedules, ranging from 3 to 24 hours.
 Following intravenous 
administration, PACLITAXEL exhibits a biphasic decline in
plasma concentrations.  The initial rapid 
decline represents distribution to the peripheral
compartment and elimination; the later phase is 
due, in part, to
a relatively slow efflux of PACLITAXEL from the peripheral compartment.
 In 
patients treated with doses of 135 and 175 mg/m
2
  given as 3 and 24 hour infusions, mean 
terminal half-life has ranged from 3.0 to 52.7 hours, and
total body clearance has ranged from 
11.6 to 24.0 L/h/m
