Paclitaxel follows nonlinear pharmacokinetics. The major metabolite of paclitaxel is 6-alpha-hydroxy paclitaxel, mediated by CYP2C8, while metabolism to two of its minor metabolites, 3’-p-hydroxypaclitaxel and 6a, 3’- p-dihydroxypaclitaxel, is catalyzed by CYP3A4. Therapeutic drug monitoring of paclitaxel could be a promising approach to improve the efficacy and safety of paclitaxel correct personalized doses and improve the overall benefit–risk ratio. A novel and highly sensitive chromatographic method for the detection of paclitaxel and its metabolite has been proposed that allows quantification in human plasma with 100% accuracy in terms of recovery without significant intraday or interday variations UR - https://journals.lww.com/iphr/fulltext/2024/07000/a_novel_ultra_performance_liquid_chromatography.4.aspx ER -
