This work presents a second-to-none method for Taxol isolation from the Endophytic fungus Cladosporium sphaerospermum (AUMC 6896) and the Entomopathogenic fungus Metarizium anisopliae (AUMC 5130). The extracts were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and Liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) using positive electrospray ionization (ESI) in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. This is rapid, consistent, reproducible, accurate, and sensitive for quantifying Taxol across multiple samples.

In order to achieve excellent precision in the estimation of binding constants by affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE), electroosmotic flow (EOF) stability is the key parameter, especially when using proteins in binding assays. Appropriate rinsing protocols are mandatory. In our study, the capillary was rinsed after each run with 0.

The electrochemical behavior of adriblastina has been studied at in situ mercury film electrode (in situ MFE) and platinum electrode (PtE) in the presence of phosphoric acid as supporting electrolyte using Osteryoung square-wave stripping voltammetry (OSWSV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Optimal experimental and operational parameters have been selected for the drug accumulation and determination in aqueous medium. The interaction of the drug with single stranded DNA (ssDNA) has been studied and validated by using classical least square and partial least square with propagation of error.

The current work presents analytical procedures for simultaneous determination of tarabine PFS and adriblastina by micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) and liquid chromatography (LC). For MEKC analysis, separations and identifications were accomplished using uncoated fused-silica capillary with hydrodynamic injections in the presence of 50mM borate/phophate pH 8.7 and 100mM SDS.
