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.

How the body breaks it down

Cabazitaxel is extensively metabolized in the liver (>95%), mainly by the CYP3A4/5 isoenzyme (80% to 90%), and to a lesser extent by CYP2C8.

How it leaves the body

Around 20 metabolites of cabazitaxel are excreted into human urine and feces.
