Market Definition:
The taxanes or taxoids are a closely related group of antineoplastic agents that have a unique mechanism of action as inhibitors of mitosis and which are widely used in the therapy of ovarian, breast, lung, esophageal, prostate, bladder and head and neck cancers. Three taxanes are in clinical use, paclitaxel (Taxol: 1992), docetaxel (Taxotere: 1996) and cabazitaxel (Jevtana: 2010). Taxanes are anticancer drugs that interfere with microtubule function, causing changes in mitosis and cellular death. Paclitaxel (Taxol) was first isolated from a yew tree, a small evergreen coniferous tree with a slow growth rate. As paclitaxel was initially scarce, docetaxel (Taxotere), a semisynthetic analogue of paclitaxel derived from the needles of the European yew tree Taxus baccata, was created. Docetaxel differs from paclitaxel in two chemical locations, making it more water soluble. Lung cancer, prostate cancer, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, breast cancer, Kaposi's sarcoma, gastric cancer, bladder cancer, esophageal cancer and other carcinomas are all commonly treated with paclitaxel and docetaxel. Cabazitaxel is also a semisynthetic analogue of natural taxoids and was developed for its lack of affinity for P-glycoprotein, a common mediator of docetaxel resistance.
