inabilities to attain adequate aqueous solubility and stability have made the preparation of a clinically suitable formulation of taxol difficult. addition of nicotinamide (nd), 2-hydroxypropyl- b-cyclodextrin (hpßcd), polyethylene glycol, (peg), bile salts (bs, 50:50 sodium cholate: deoxycholate), and cremophor el can improve the solubility of taxol. studies were undertaken to compare the stab...

taxol is used to treatment of variety cancers including ovarian, breast, lung, head and neck carcinomas and the aids-related karposi’s carcinoma, and was originally obtained from bark of taxus brevifolia. however the amount of extracted taxol from taxus is extremely low and cannot be considered as a suitable commercial source and it has led to studies for finding new sources of taxol. in 1998, ...

Background: Sustainable and commercial production of taxol as an anti cancer drug is a critical point to its clinical application. Nowadays, hazel because of rapid growth and wide range distribution is considered as an alternative source of Taxol. Objective: To increase taxol production the cDNA encoding 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR) from Iranian hazel (GeneBank accession num...

Taxol is a very important anticancer drug which was first isolated from Yew plant (Taxus spp.). However, Taxol supply by extraction from natural sources, has several limitations, and cannot meet current market's demands. Therefore, it seems necessary to use alternative production methods. Producing Taxol through biotechnological approaches is among the main options which have some advantages su...

microtubules are unique cytoskeletal structures that have structural subunits of αβ tubulin. taxol is a typical microtubule stabilizing drug. the epothilones are other natural products with similar mechanism of action totaxol. despite the highly conserved nature of β-tubulin, some organism like saccharomyces cerevesia is resistance to taxol, but sensitive to epothilones. in order to find differ...

Background: Women worldwide are concerned about breast cancer, resulting in high mortality and morbidity. Objectives: In this research, to investigate the function of Taxol, Vinblastine, Vincristine on MCF-7 cell line, different concentration levels (10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320 µmol/mL) drugs were examined. Taxolwas also used combination with Vinblastine Vincristine. Methods: The examined compound...

the aim of the present study was to find the effects of pre and post vitrification taxol treatment on bovineimmature cumulus oocyte complexes (cocs). bovine ovaries were collected from the local slaughterhousein a container with 30-37°c physiologic saline and supplemented with antibiotics. the grade a aspiratedcocs were assigned to 6 experimental groups; the 1st group was control (n=100) in whi...
