Abstract

The recovery and purification of a paclitaxel from plant cell cultures is essential to commercial process. This review describes a large-scale recovery and purification method for producing paclitaxel, to guarantee high purity and yield from plant cell cultures. Also, the process of separation and purification is optimized in conjunction with a extraction step, pre-purification, purification, and polishing (drying) as an integrated process to meet final product quality requirements such as purity, residual solvents, product morphologies, impurities, bacterial endotoxin, etc. This information is very useful for production and quality control of pharmaceuticals in commercialization step.

식물세포배양으로부터 항암제 paclitaxel의 생산을 위해 회수 및 정제는 산업적 공정에 있어서 필수적이다. 본 총설은 식물세포배양으로부터 고순도, 고수율의 paclitaxel 생산을 위한 대량 회수 및 정제 방법을 기술하고자 한다. 또한 이러한 분리 및 정제 공정은 추출, 전 처리, 정제, 제품화 단계를 총괄하여 최종 제품의 요구조건들 즉, 순도, 잔류용매, 제품형태, 불순물 함량, 엔도톡신 함량 등을 충족시킬 수 있도록 최적화되어야 한다. 이러한 관점에서 본 총설은 산업화 단계에서의 의약품 생산 및 품질관리에 상당히 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
