The structure of paclitaxel, a widely used mitotic inhibitor. A mitotic inhibitor is a drug that inhibits mitosis, or cell division. These drugs disrupt microtubules, which are structures that pull the cell apart when it divides. Mitotic inhibitors are used in cancer treatment, because cancer cells are able to grow and eventually spread through the body (metastasize) through continuous mitotic division.
Mitomycin is a cancer medication that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body. Mitomycin is used in combination with other cancer medications to treat cancer of the stomach and pancreas. Mitomycin treats only the symptoms of stomach or pancreatic cancer but does not treat the cancer itself. Mitomycin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide. Mitomycin can lower blood cells that help your body fight infections and help your blood to clot.
