General information

Class/mechanism: Microtubule inhibitor; semi-synthetic analog of epothilone B. Ixabepilone binds to beta tubulin on microtubules, suppresses the dynamic instability of alpha beta II and alpha beta III, and disrupts normal microtubule dynamics. This results in arrest in the mitotic phase of the cell cycle and cell death.[1][2][3]
Route: IV
Extravasation: irritant
