Docetaxel disrupts the microtubular network in cells that is essential for vital mitotic and interphase cellular functions. It binds to the free tubulin and promotes the assembly of tubulin into stable microtubules while simultaneously inhibiting their disassembly, resulting in inhibition of mitosis.
CYP3A4 inducers, inhibitors, or substrates may alter docetaxel metabolism.
