Paclitaxel: Sources, Chemistry, Anticancer Actions, and Current Biotechnology provides a comprehensive survey of Paclitaxel and its derivatives chemistry, biosynthesis, and anticancer activities. In addition, biotechnological methods, including cell cultures, the use of bioreactors and metabolic engineering strategies to improve Paclitaxel production are also discussed. The book discusses topics such as mechanisms of action against cancer, novel forms of Paclitaxel for an effective cancer treatment, strategies for enhancing its bioavailability, application of nanocarriers for its delivery and chemotherapy of cancer. In addition, it discusses how to overcome Paclitaxel resistance, its application specifically on lung and breast cancer and biotechnology approaches for Paclitaxel producing plants. It is a valuable resource for cancer researchers, biotechnologists and members of biomedical field who are interested in the promising anticancer qualities of this antineoplastic drug and how to enhance them for better treatments. Presents detailed information about Paclitaxel research, from its discovery to clinical uses and biotechnological routes of commercial productionFocuses on Paclitaxel development as an effective chemotherapeutic drug and its application in different types of cancersEncompasses descriptive illustrations and workflows to help the reader to fully understand the content and easily apply it to their research
