How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (PACLITAXEL). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Paclitaxel protein-bound particles for injectable suspension (albumin-bound) is a microtubule inhibitor that promotes the assembly of microtubules from tubulin dimers and stabilizes microtubules by preventing depolymerization.
This stability results in the inhibition of the normal dynamic reorganization of the microtubule network that is essential for vital interphase and mitotic cellular functions.
Less than 1% of the total administered dose was excreted in urine as the metabolites 6α-hydroxypaclitaxel and 3′- p -hydroxypaclitaxel.
