  • Scientific Description
    Anticancer compound [1, 11, 14]. Chemotherapeutic used in patients with cancer and advanced forms of Kaposis sarcoma [11, 12]. Microtubule assembly stabilizer. Reversibly binds to polymerized tubulin [2, 3, 6, 13, 14]. Anti-mitotic. Mitotic spindle assembly, chromosome segregation and cell division inhibitor. Induces cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase [4, 5, 10, 13]. Apoptosis inducer through aberrant activation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CKDs) and the c-Jun N-terminal kinase/stress activated protein kinase (JNK/SAPK) [7-9, 10]. Immunosuppressor. Immunostimulant [15]. Antiproliferative agent for the prevention of restenosis [16]. TRAIL sensitizer [17] - Chemical. CAS: 33069-62-4. Formula: C47H51NO14. MW: 853.9. Isolated from the bark of the pacific yew tree (Taxus brevifolia). Anticancer compound. Chemotherapeutic used in patients with cancer and advanced forms of Kaposis sarcoma.
