Taxol is an anticancer drug extracted from the Pacific yew tree. In animal cells, taxol disrupts microtubule formation by bindin
g to microtubules and accelerating their assembly from the protein precursor, tubulin. Surprisingly, this stops mitosis. Specifically, taxol must affect.
Mitotic spindle formation is important for the cellular activity of cell and for the separation of daughter chromosomes. Various drugs can inhibit the formation of mitotic spindle in the cell.
Taxol drug can disrupt the microtubule formation and accelerate their assembly. This drugs affect the formation of mitotic spindle that disrupt the cell cycle process and acts as anti-cancer drug.
