WHAT DOES TAXOL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

taxol

Paclitaxel

Paclitaxel is a mitotic inhibitor used in cancer chemotherapy; it and docetaxel represent the taxane family of drugs. Paclitaxel was discovered in 1967 as a result of a U.S. National Cancer Institute-funded screening program; Monroe Wall and Mansukh Wani isolated the drug from the bark of the Pacific yew, Taxus brevifolia, and named it "taxol". Developed commercially by Bristol-Myers Squibb, the generic name has changed to "paclitaxel" with BMS selling the compound under trademark as Taxol. Taxol™ is formulated with a polyethoxylated castor oil and ethanol; paclitaxel is also available as a injectable suspension of albumin-bound drug, where it is sold under the trademark Abraxane®. Clinicians sometimes use the abbreviation "PTX" for paclitaxel, which is discouraged because it is not a unique identifier. Paclitaxel's mechanism of action involves its stabilization of cellular microtubules; as a result, it interferes with the normal breakdown of microtubules during cell division. Paclitaxel is used to treat patients with lung, ovarian, breast, and head and neck cancers, and advanced forms of Kaposi's sarcoma.
