Reaction Steps

200 mg of an active drug (docetaxel, paclitaxel, cabazitaxel, or larotaxel) is weighed into a 5 mL volumetric flask. 2 g polysorbate 80 is added to the flask and votexed for 3 minutes. Then glycerol (0.5 g), polyvinylpyrrolidone (0.5 g), citric acid (0.05 g), menthol (0.025 g) are added to the flask. Ethanol is then added to make the total volume of 5 mL. The solution is votexed for 5 minutes and mixed well. The final pH is 5.3 (range 5.0-6.0).
