Nanoparticle-based Paclitaxel Suspension

Definitions
A nanoparticle-based suspension containing the water-insoluble taxane paclitaxel, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon intraperitoneal administration, paclitaxel binds to tubulin and inhibits the disassembly of microtubules, which leads to the inhibition of cell division. The nanoparticle-based formulation is devoid of toxic solvents, such as cremophor; therefore, this agent has fewer side effects than the standard, solvent-based paclitaxel formulation.
