Abraxane active ingredients

Abraxane is known as a microtubule inhibitor, meaning it blocks the action of microtubules in the body. Microtubules are made from shorter chains of proteins called tubulin in the body, this process is in a dynamic state where microtubules are constantly made and unmade from the tubulin.

Microtubules are involved in cell processes such as transport, cell shape, movement, and mitosis. Mitosis is a type of cell division where the two cells produced have the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus. Abraxane stops chromosomes from separating during mitosis, causing the cell to die.

Treatment with Abraxane is by intravenous infusion, directly into your vein. The strength and how often you are given the medication will be decided by your doctor, based on several factors, including what type of cancer you are being treated for.
