OBJECTIVE
Paclitaxel has been demonstrated to possess significant cell-killing activity in a variety of tumor cells by induction of apoptosis, but the mechanism by which paclitaxel leads to cell death and its relationship with mitotic arrest is not entirely clear. In this study, baccatin III, a
Taxol or paclitaxel, an approved drug by the Food and Drug Administration, is being used for the treatment of human cancers. This study aimed to isolate and determine different species of native endophytic fungi from Iranian Taxus baccata (yew) plants located in the northern forests of Iran. To do
A series of 2'-methyl taxoids were synthesized and essayed for growth inhibition experiments conducted in human ovarian cancer cell line A2780wt and its counterparts A2780cis, A2780tax, and A2780adr, resistant to cisplatin, paclitaxel, and doxorubicin, respectively, to test the effect of this
We have isolated endophytic fungi from Indian yew tree, Taxus baccata and then screened for taxol production. Out of the forty fungal cultures screened, one fungus Gliocladium sp. was found to produce taxol and 10DAB III (10 Deacetyl baccatin III). These compounds were purified by TLC, HPLC and
Enantiomeric purity of drugs is essential for their biological activity. In the present study, we investigate the performance of Raman optical activity (ROA) spectroscopy in distinguishing four possible stereoisomers of the synthetic precursor used for the production of taxol from baccatin III.
BACKGROUND
The compound Hongdoushan capsule (CHC) is widely known as compound herbal preparation and is often used to treat ovarian cancer and breast cancer, and to enhance the body immunity, etc., in clinical practice.
OBJECTIVE
To determine simultaneously 10 bioactive components from CHC, namely
In collaboration with the National Cancer Institute, Bristol-Myers Squibb has developed paclitaxel for treatment of various cancers; it has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of ovarian and metastatic breast cancer. Originally paclitaxel was isolated and purified
