Description
Antitumor agent. Stabilizes microtubules and lowers the critical concentration for tubulin polymerization. Reversibly binds to polymerized tubulin. Inhibits protein isoprenylation and induces apoptosis in PC-3 human prostate cancer cells. The checkpoint of mitotic spindle assembly, aberrant activation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CKDs) and the c-Jun N-terminal kinase/stress activated protein kinase (JNK/SAPK) are involved in Paclitaxel-induced apoptosis
