Taxol and microtubule molecules,illustration
Illustration of a taxol molecule (ball-and-stick model) and microtubules (blue and yellow). Taxol was first isolated from the bark of the Pacific yew tree (Taxus brevifolia) and is now made synthetically. Taxol is an anti-cancer drug which stabilises microtubules in cells,disrupting their disassembly. This action results in chromosomes being unable to achieve a metaphase spindle configuration disrupting the progression of cell division (mitosis). Taxol can also prevent the microtubule detachment from centrosomes,a process normally activated during mitosis. Taxol atoms are represented as spheres and are colour-coded: carbon (grey),oxygen (red) and nitrogen (blue). Hydrogen atoms have been omitted.
