1 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
This review describes the mechanism of action - inhibition of microtubules - and the most important mechanisms of resistance for vinca alkaloids, taxanes and epothilones. Resistance is a major problem in vinca and taxane chemotherapy and arises in most cases from overexpression of efflux pumps that transport the drugs out of the cancer cells and from modifications of the target, the microtubules, by...
