Pharmacological action

Pharmacodynamics

Antitumor agent. It is an inhibitor of mitosis. Paclitaxel specifically binds to microtubule beta-tubulin, disrupting the depolymerization of this key protein, which leads to the suppression of normal dynamic reorganization of the microtubule network, which plays a decisive role during interphase and without which the implementation of cellular functions in the mitosis phase is impossible. In addition, paclitaxel causes the formation of abnormal microtubule bundles throughout the cell cycle and the formation of several centrioles during mitosis.

Pharmacokinetics

Plasma Protein Binding 89-98%. Biotransformed mainly in the liver. It is excreted both by the kidneys in an unchanged form, and with bile (both unchanged and in the form of metabolites).

Indications

Ovarian cancer (including the failure of platinum drugs)

breast cancer

lung cancer

esophageal cancer

head and neck cancer

bladder cancer.

Contraindications

Pregnancy and lactation

Drug Interaction

In laboratory studies in patients receiving sequential infusions of paclitaxel and cisplatin, a more pronounced myelotoxic effect was observed when paclitaxel was administered after cisplatin with an average of 20% paclitaxel clearance.

Cimetidine's previous intake did not affect the mean clearance of paclitaxel overall.

Based on in vivo and in vitro data, it can be suggested that patients receiving ketoconazole have a suppression of paclitaxel metabolism.
