The DTP Compare Analysis uses cytotoxicity data for the test-drug across the NCI-60 spectrum of cell lines to determine is a correlation coefficient of measurement of the similarity in cytotoxic mechanism between the test subject drug, and known cytotoxic drugs with known mechanisms of action. The correlation coefficient ranging from 0 to 1 reflects the degree of similarity. Thus the above findings indicate maximum similarity of mechanism to paclitaxel and significant similarity to several drugs across the antimetabolite and alkylating agent class.
