Pharmacology

Cabazitaxel is a microtubule inhibitor. Cabazitaxel binds to tubulin and promotes its assembly into microtubules while simultaneously inhibiting disassembly. This leads to the stabilization of microtubules, which results in the interference of mitotic and interphase cellular functions. The cell is then unable to progress further into the cell cycle, being stalled at metaphase, thus triggering apoptosis of the cancer cell.

Precautions

Hypersensitivity reaction; risk of neutropenia; risk of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, peripheral neuropathy; renal failure, cardiac arrhythmias; liver impairment; anemia. Pregnancy & lactation. Elderly.
