Usage |
Paclitaxel powder is
a chemotherapy drug that is given as a treatment for some types of
cancer. Paclitaxel powder is
a mitotic inhibitor now used to treat patients with lung, ovarian, breast
cancer, head and neck cancer, and advanced forms of Kaposi's sarcoma. Paclitaxel
is also used for the prevention of restenosis.
Function
of Paclitaxel
1. Paclitaxel is a mitotic
inhibitor drup used in the treatment of cancer.
2. Isolated the compound from the bark of the Pacific yew tree, Taxus
brevifolia, and noted its antitumor activity in a broad range of rodent
tumors.
3. Paclitaxel has since become an effective tool of doctors who treat patients
with lung, ovarian, breast cancer, and advanced forms of Kaposi's
sarcoma.
