Therapeutic Effects of Mitobulin 0.5mg Injection
Mitobulin 0.5mg Injection stops the growth and spread of cancer cells, specifically targeting the growth phase of microtubules, which are structures that help cells divide.

Additionally, it causes tubulin, a protein essential for cell division, to clump together in a way that disrupts cell division. This ultimately leads to the blockage of the cell cycle (G2/M phase), disrupting the formation of structures necessary for cell division (mitotic spindles) and triggering cell death through apoptosis.
