Nutraceutical Profile

ImmunCR Id : ICR83
Chemical Name : Paclitaxel
Plant Source : Paclitaxel
Nutraceutical information : ---
Mode of administration : ---
Immunomodulatory mechanism : Anti-cancer (G2/M phase cell cycle arrest, upregulates IL-10, CD4+, CD45 RO+, CD8+, CD45 Ro+, IFN-γ, downregulates Tregs)
Description : Paclitaxel is a white cyrtalline powder which was first isolated in 1960 from Pacific yew (T. Brevifolia). It is a known taxane and widely studied for its potency against cancer because of its ability to stabilize microtubules. PTX is tricyclic diterpene, having a taxane complex ring with an amide function. The side chain at position C-13 adds to its cytotoxicity. The use of paclitaxel has been discontinued relating to the neurotoxic effects after infusion.
