Mechanism of action

Gemcitabine is a nucleoside analog that inhibits ribonucleotide reductase and gets incorporated into DNA, causing chain termination. Docetaxel is a taxane that stabilizes microtubules and prevents cell division. Capecitabine is a fluoropyrimidine prodrug that inhibits thymidylate synthase and gets incorporated into RNA and DNA. Together, these agents provide multi-modal cytotoxic activity against rapidly dividing cancer cells.
