How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Jevtana). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Cabazitaxel is a microtubule inhibitor.
Cabazitaxel binds to tubulin and promotes its assembly into microtubules while simultaneously inhibiting disassembly.
Cabazitaxel is extensively metabolized in the liver (>95%), mainly by the CYP3A4/5 isoenzyme (80% to 90%), and to a lesser extent by CYP2C8.
Around 20 metabolites of cabazitaxel are excreted into human urine and feces.
