Description:
Anti-cancer compound [2, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14]. Cell synchronization agent. Used as a drug in chemotherapy by synchronizing tumor cells at metaphase, the radiosensitive stage of the cell cycle [11, 12, 14]. Microtubule assembly inhibitor. Depolymerizes microtubules and limits microtubule formation (inactivates spindle fibre formation) [1, 4, 5, 14]. Inhibits mitosis during cell division at metaphase by inhibiting spindle formation [2, 5, 7, 8, 14]. Low concentrations affect microtubule dynamics and cell migration, while high concentrations promote microtubule detachment from microtubule organizing center [14]. Apoptosis inducer [9, 13]. Thrombopoietic agent [3].
