Docetaxel is stored for a long time in cells, where its concentration reaches high values. In addition, docetaxel is active against some, though not all, cells that produce in excess P-glycoprotein (P-gP), encoded by the multiple resistance gene to chemotherapeutic remedies.
In vivo docetaxel has a broad spectrum of activity against tumors of mice and transplanted human tumor cells.
The efficacy of docetaxel has been proven in breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, hormone-resistant prostate cancer, stomach cancer, head and neck cancer.

Interaction of the remedy

In vitro studies have shown that the biotransformation of a remedy can change with the simultaneous use of substances inducing or inhibiting cytochrome CYP3A isoenzymes or metabolizing (competitive inhibition) with the participation of cytochrome CYP3A such as cyclosporine, terfenadine, ketoconazole, erythromycin, and trolleandomycin. In this regard, care must be taken with the simultaneous administration of such drugs, given the possibility of pronounced interaction.
With simultaneous use of docetaxel with CYP3A4 isoenzyme inhibitors, such as antifungals from the imidazole group (ketoconazole, itraconazole) and protease inhibitors (ritonavir), caution is necessary.
