Determination of paclitaxel in human and rat blood samples after administration of low dose paclitaxel by HPLC‐UV detection

Abstract: A simple and sensitive HPLC-UV method was developed for the determination of paclitaxel (TXL) in human and rat blood samples. 4-Hydroxybenzoic acid n-hexyl ester was used as an internal standard. TXL was extracted by a liquid-liquid extraction with tert-butylmethyl ether. The disturbing peaks in the case of serum sample were removed by pre-extraction with hexane. The separation of TXL was achieved within 25 min using an ODS column with 50% acetonitrile aqueous solution as a mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 m… Show more

“…Interestingly, PEGylated NP administered at a dose of 150 μg PTX (corresponding to 0.35 mg/kg) gave 4 and 10 times higher PTX plasma levels 20 min and 6 h after injection, respectively, than those observed in rat studies by others with 1.0 mg/kg PTX administered intraarterially (26). These findings are in agreement with the "stealth" properties of PEGylated NP (Fig.…”

“…Not only assays for single taxane quantification are developed using HPLC-UV, but also assays for combined quantification of docetaxel, paclitaxel and other drugs [49][50][51], and assays for quantification of parent drugs and metabolites [52][53][54]. Most assays quantify taxanes in human or rodent plasma, although some assays have been designed for quantification of taxanes in serum [18,19,37], tissue [22,54], urine [21,26,28,29,41,48,54] or feces [54].…”

“…This drug moves to block mitotic activity through interference with the formation of microtubules [29], thus preventing cancer cell division. However, due to the prevalence of significant side effects, paclitaxel is almost always used in a comparatively low dose to other bioactive agents [30]. This need for a precise window of treatment combined with the important nature of the drugs indications make paclitaxel an important drug for quantification.…”

“…This need for a precise window of treatment combined with the important nature of the drugs indications make paclitaxel an important drug for quantification. HPLC is uniquely suited for the low levels of drug used as well as the common use of paclitaxel with other drugs and excipients such as Chremophor EL ® [28][29][30][31]. The hydrophobic nature of the drug does necessitate different mobile phase ratios than other drugs described, but hydrophobic columns can be used and detection is usually around 230 nm [28][29][30][31].…”
