摘要: The taxoids, paclitaxel (Taxol) and docetaxel (Taxotere), represent a novel class of antineoplastic drugs. Paclitaxel share similar mechanism action: the promotion microtubule assembly inhibition disassembly. clinical development was initially hampered by hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs). use premedications prolongation infusion time to 24h has reduced these allowed this drug's development. Although paclitaxel's activity not been fully investigated, trials have demonstrated its against ovarian, breast, bronchial carcinomas. Because phase I studies noted occasional HSRs observations increased with further experiences, those employed now instituted in many II docetaxel. Docetaxel is currently being investigated carcinomas shown impressive activity. dose-limiting toxicity both agents neutropenia; myalgias, mucositis, neuropathies, alopecia also observed Additionally, fluid retention syndrome cutaneous toxicities patients treated Future taxoids will allow comparisons efficacy agents.
