Enhanced Anticancer Fighter
- Paclitaxel, also known as Taxol, belongs to the group of taxanes together with the brother Docetaxel, and it is marked by a powerful anticancer activity. This natural product, found as part of a National Cancer Institute program in 1962 aiming at identifying natural active compounds to potentially treat cancer, is a cell division inhibitor that finds place in diverse chemotherapeutic regimens.
- The clinical targets of Paclitaxel are still growing day by day, but it is mainly used to treat metastatic carcinoma of the ovary, non-small cell lung carcinoma, metastatic breast cancer and also AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma.
- This anti-microtubule agent puts a stop on the normal dynamic reorganization of the microtubule structure which is fundamental for mitotic cellular functions. Thanks to this peculiar mechanism of action, it is currently being investigated as a potential agent in diseases where it is requested to stabilize the microtubules network and to avoid the angiogenesis and cell proliferation. To cite, psoriasis and Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease.
