HCID 67051800, compound → Paclitaxel

Participants

Reaction Steps

The polymers were dissolved in acetonitrile- and centrifuged at 10,000 g for 5 minutes to discard any non-dissolvable impurities. Paclitaxel acetonitrile solution was then added to each polymer solution to give a solution with paclitaxel (paclitaxel+polymer) of 10%-wt. The solvent acetonitrile was then removed to obtain a clear paclitaxel/PDLLA-MePEG matrix, under a stream of nitrogen and 60° C. warming. Distilled water, 0.9% NaCl saline, or 5% dextrose was added at four times weight of the matrix. The matrix was finally “dissolved” with the help of vortex mixing and periodic warming at 60° C. Clear solutions were obtained in all the cases. The particle sizes were all below 50 nm as determined by a submicron particle sizer, NICOMP Model 270. The formulations are given in Table V.
