摘要: Tubulin-binding agents have traditionally been divided into compounds that promote tubulin polymerization (microtubule-stabilizing exemplified by the prototypic taxane paclitaxel and docetaxel) those depolymerization, including vinca alkaloids (vincristine, vinblastine vinorelbine). Only taxanes significant activity in treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer either as single-agent therapy or combination with platinum (Muggia et al. (2000), Covens (2002), International Collaborative Ovarian Neoplasm Group Parmar (2003), Kyrgiou (2006)). However, despite their utility, important clinical limitations, particularly related to drug resistance adverse effects. This review will focus on current understanding how biology microtubule control cell cycle may explain inform development new therapeutics strategies.
