PREPARATION OF TAXANES

摘要

A method of isolating a mixture of taxanes from a bio-oil composition of a diterpenoid-containing biomass material is provided. The bio oil composition may be obtained from the genus Taxus or Austrotaxus. The method involves destructive distillation of the biomass to produce a bio oil composition, followed by mixing a chromatographic resin with the bio-oil composition to form a bio-oil/resin mixture, and eluting the mixture of taxanes from the bio-oil/resin mixture using an eluting solvent.
