Product Description
Mechanism of Action
10Desacetylbaccatin III is a crucial taxoid precursor extracted from *Taxus* species and serves as a semisynthetic scaffold for paclitaxel and docetaxel production. Its mechanism relates to microtubule stabilization through increased tubulin polymerization, though its direct cytotoxicity is lower than fully substituted taxanes.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in taxanebiosynthesis research, anticancer drug precursor development, microtubulebinding pathway studies, and naturalproduct semisynthesis investigations.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include mild cytotoxicity, dermatitis, ocular irritation and respiratory sensitization with powdered material. Handle with naturalproduct precursor precautions.
Only GMP materials will be supplied, logistics all according to GDP.
