Paclitaxel is an antineoplastic agent that promotes microtubule assembly and stabilization, inhibiting cell division. It is commonly used to treat various cancers such as ovarian, breast, lung, and Kaposi's sarcoma. It is FDA approved and widely used in oncology today.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic parameters reported in adult cancer patients (both sexes), typically received paclitaxel as a 3-hour intravenous infusion as part of chemotherapy regimens.
