Product Description
Mechanism of action
Cabazitaxel is a semisynthetic taxane that stabilises microtubules by binding to β-tubulin and preventing their depolymerisation. This disrupts mitotic spindle formation, halting cell division and inducing apoptosis. Compared with earlier taxanes, cabazitaxel is less susceptible to efflux by P-glycoprotein, enhancing activity in resistant tumour lines.
Benefits and advantages
Used in oncology research, microtubule-dynamics studies, drug-resistance modelling, taxane SAR analysis, apoptosis-pathway research and metastatic cancer mechanism studies.
Side effects and risks
Risks include severe neutropenia, peripheral neuropathy, diarrhoea, hypersensitivity reactions and hepatotoxicity. Handle under cytotoxic-agent containment conditions.
