Extracts from Taxus species needles (T. media, T. baccata, T. cuspidat
a) were separated on thin layers of silica Si 60 by two-stage developm
ent (first stage: 60 % heptane solution of a mixture of 5 % methanol a
nd 95 % chloroform; second stage: 70 % heptane solution of the same so
lution of methanol in chloroform). The peak of taxol was satisfactoril
y separated from the neighbouring peaks to permit its densitometric de
termination. Content of taxol for various samples of Taxus species is
compared.
