F. Coudore et al., High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of paclitaxel in ratserum: application to a toxicokinetic study, J CHROMAT B, 721(2), 1999, pp. 317-320
A simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method is de
scribed for the determination of paclitaxel (Taxol(R)) at 230 nm using a Nu
cleosil C-18 (5 mu m) column and a methanol-water (70:30, v/v) mobile phase
following a single-step extraction from serum with dichloromethane. The as
say was validated against the classical criteria and was applied to a toxic
okinetic study in rats after one or five, (one per week) intraperitoneal ad
ministrations of 16 mg/kg Taxol(R). (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All righ
