NCI Thesaurus | XRP9881

A semi-synthetic derivative of the taxane 10-deacetylbaccatin III with potential antineoplastic properties. XRP9881 binds to tubulin, promoting microtubule assembly and stabilization and preventing microtubule depolymerization, thereby inhibiting cell proliferation. As it represents poor substrate for P-glycoprotein-related drug resistance mechanisms, this agent may be useful for treating multi-drug resistant tumors. XRP9881 penetrates the blood brain barrier.
