In vitro
Docetaxel (Taxotere) is a semi-synthetic, second-generation taxane, with anti-neoplastic application for the treatment of breast, ovarian, and non-small cell lung cancer.Docetaxel binds to and stabilizes tubulin, thereby inhibiting microtubule disassembly which results in cell- cycle arrest at the G2/M phase and cell death. The overall cells mean IC50 for docetaxel treatment was 4.67 nM,similar to IC50 values observed across the NCI60 panel of human tumor cell lines.
