ABSTRACT:
A process for the purification of paclitaxel or docetaxel comprising: (a) mixing crude paclitaxel with a mixture of solvents such as alkane and chlorinated alkane, filtering the solid followed by drying to obtain paclitaxel or docetaxel of increased purity; (b) repeating step (a) one or more times to obtain paclitaxel or docetaxel of increased purity; (c) dissolving the solid obtained from step (b) in alkyl ketone followed by adding alkane thereto, filtering and drying the solid thus formed to obtain paclitaxel or docetaxel of increased purity; (d) repeating step (c) one or more times to increase the purity of paclitaxel or docetaxel; (e) dissolving the paclitaxel or docetaxel obtained from step (d) in alkanol and then adding water, filtering and drying the solid thus formed, to obtain paclitaxel of increased purity; (f) dissolving the solid obtained from step (e) in alkyl ketone, filtering, followed by adding alkane to the filtrate, filtering and drying the solid thus formed to obtain pure paclitaxel or pure docetaxel.
