| Bioactivity | Paclitaxel is a naturally occurring antineoplastic agent and stabilizes tubulin polymerization. Paclitaxel can cause both mitotic arrest and apoptotic cell death. Paclitaxel also induces autophagy[1][2]. |
| Invitro | Paclitaxel (20 nM; 48 hours) induces programmed cell death and exists a block at the G2/M phase of the cell cycle[1].Paclitaxel (20 nM; 48 hours) induces a consistent increase in the level of p53[1]. Apoptosis Analysis[1] Cell Line: |
