Question

Vinblastine is a standard chemotherapeutic drug used to treat cancer. Because it interferes with the assembly of microtubules, its effectiveness must be related to Group of answer choices disruption of mitotic spindle formation. inhibition of regulatory protein phosphorylation. suppression of cyclin production. inhibition of DNA synthesis.

Answer 1

The correct answer is ''disruption of mitotic spindle formation.''

Step-by-step explanation:

Vinblastine blocks mitosis by inhibiting the formation of microtubules in the mitotic spindle, which results in the interruption of cell division in the metaphase stage, thus having a specific action of the M phase of the cell division cycle . Its activity may also be related to an interference of the amino acid metabolic pathways that lead from glutamic acid to the citric acid cycle and to urea.
