How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (EVDI). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Trabectedin is an alkylating drug that binds guanine residues in the minor groove of DNA, forming adducts and resulting in a bending of the DNA helix towards the major groove.

Adduct formation triggers a cascade of events that can affect the subsequent activity of DNA binding proteins, including some transcription factors, and DNA repair pathways, resulting in perturbation of the cell cycle and eventual cell death.

How the body breaks it down

Trabectedin was extensively metabolized with negligible unchanged drug in urine and feces following administration of trabectedin to humans.
