USES:
The dynamic substance in Onivyde, irinotecan, is a topoisomerase inhibitor. It obstructs a chemical called topoisomerase I. This protein is associated with duplicating cell DNA, which is expected to make new cells. By hindering the catalyst, malignant growth cells are kept from increasing and they, in the end, bite the dust. In Onivyde, irinotecan is contained inside modest fat particles called ‘liposomes’. The liposomes are required to amass inside the tumor and discharge the medication gradually after some time, in this manner enabling it to represent longer.”
