I found http://www.chemocare.com/bio/ (http://www.chemocare.com/bio/)usefull.

This is a great list...

Btw,
next to doxorubicin you can put brand name (Adriamycin)
and next to paclitaxel you can put brand name (Taxol).

[Barbara2]

Thanks, Brenda, I did add those 2 drug names to the list as you suggested. It's odd they weren't included in the first place; so common, and all.

Oh! An explaination is in the last paragraph.

Oh, I didn't read that far either. And that paragraph is kind of greek to me anyway...
