The Stathmokinetic Agents
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2014
Summary
Stathmokinetic agents are a class of antimitotic agents which possess the ability of arresting cell division at the metaphase stage.
They are also called spindle poisons because they act by inactivating or distructing the mitotic spindle. Some new discovered stathmokinetic compounds, like vinblastine and vincristine, are effective anti-tumour agents. The mechanism of action of spindle poisons is briefly discussed.
