Name several drugs interfering with microtubules and several drugs interfering with microfilaments.

  #2

Griseofulvin interferes with microtubule

  #3

- inhibitors of polymerization of microtubules - Colchicine, vinblastin, vincristin
- cytochalasin B inhibits microfilament polimerization
phallodin inhibits microfilament depolymerization

  #4

So Paclitaxel would belong to the first group

Paclitaxel or Taxol, as well as D2O are both promoters of polimerization of microtubules. I wonder if it would reverse the effects of vincristine or colchicine...(?)
