7-epi-Taxol, the epimer of taxol (paclitaxel), is a major and active metabolite of taxol isolated from Taxus brevifolia with comparable anticancr/antitubulin activity to that of paclitaxek/taxol. Similar to paclitaxel, 7-epi-Taxol promotes microtubule stabilization and inhibits microtubule depolymerization. It is also active against cell proliferation. Therefore, the overall biological activity of taxol remains unaffected by its presence.

7-epi-Taxol (7-Epitaxol) is a taxol metabolite[1]. In terms of cell replication, microtubule bundle formation, and in vitro microtubule polymerization, 7-epi-Taxol exhibits activity similar to that of taxol[2].

| ln Vivo |
Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS), with an atmospheric-pressure chemical ionization (APCI) interface, has been applied to the identification of metabolites and derivatives of paclitaxel (taxol) in plasma and urine of patients treated with this new anticancer drug. Protonated molecules with substantial fragmentation were obtained using this ionization technique. The three ion series observed are characteristic of the intact molecule, the taxane ring, and the side chain at C13. Their analysis gives information about chemical modifications of the taxane structure at different positions of the molecule. Urine and plasma extracts were evaluated using the capacity to perform MS analysis directly on the entire effluent from conventional LC columns. Excellent spectra were obtained with 50 pmol of separated compounds in full scan mode. This technique allowed highly sensitive identification of 6 alpha-hydroxytaxol, the major human biliary metabolite, and of 7-epitaxol in extracts of plasma and urine from patients. Taxol hydrolysis derivatives were observed for the first time in urine 24 hours after the end of the infusion period. Sensitivity could be increased further using single ion monitoring (SIM) mode, once a target derivative was identified. These results demonstrate that LC/MS with an APCI interface is useful for the characterization and pharmacokinetic analysis of taxoids in biological matrices[1].

| Cell Assay |
The hydrolysis products of taxol have been isolated by high-performance liquid chromatography and identified by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectroscopy. In contrast to taxol, the major hydrolysis product, baccatin III, has little cytotoxic activity and does not promote in vitro microtubule assembly. In cell culture medium, the concentration of taxol decreases with time and 7-epitaxol, which exhibits properties comparable to those of taxol both on cells and on in vitro microtubuli polymerization, is formed. Baccatin III is found in small quantities in the cell medium, although it is barely detectable within the cells. It is concluded that 7-epitaxol is the major derivative of taxol found in cells and that its presence does not alter, in a major way, the overall biological activity of taxol[2].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
