About Antineoplastic - Taxanes.

Antineoplastic taxanes are a class of plant alkaloid–derived chemotherapeutic agents that include drugs such as paclitaxel, docetaxel, and cabazitaxel.

They function primarily as microtubule stabilizers, binding directly to cellular beta-tubulin to inhibit microtubule disassembly and suppress dynamic instability.

This mechanism arrests cancer cells in the mitotic (G2/M) phase of the cell cycle, ultimately triggering apoptotic cell death.

Clinically, taxanes serve as cornerstone treatments for a wide variety of solid tumors, most notably advanced breast, ovarian, non-small cell lung, prostate, and gastric cancers.
