Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to
24 months(2-8C).
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20C. Generally, these will be useable for up to two weeks. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

The packaging of the product may have turned upside down during transportation, resulting in the natural compounds adhering to the neck or cap of the vial. take the vial out of its packaging and gently shake to let the compounds fall to the bottom of the vial. for liquid products, centrifuge at 200-500 RPM to gather the liquid at the bottom of the vial. try to avoid loss or contamination during handling.

Taxol is converted to 7-epitaxol, a biologically active isomer, in cell culture medium.[Pubmed:
2886648]
The hydrolysis products of taxol have been isolated by high-performance liquid chromatography and identified by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectroscopy. In contrast to taxol, the major hydrolysis product, baccatin III, has little cytotoxic activity and does not promote in vitro microtubule assembly.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
In cell culture medium, the concentration of taxol decreases with time and 7-Epitaxol, which exhibits properties comparable to those of taxol both on cells and on in vitro microtubuli polymerization, is formed. Baccatin III is found in small quantities in the cell medium, although it is barely detectable within the cells.
CONCLUSIONS:
It is concluded that 7-Epitaxol is the major derivative of taxol found in cells and that its presence does not alter, in a major way, the overall biological activity of taxol.

Mesenchymal stromal cells uptake and release paclitaxel without reducing its anticancer activity.[Pubmed:
24942547]
To improve the drug delivery efficiency on target cells, many strategies have been developed including Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) approaches. In a previous study, we found that bone-marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) were able to incorporate and release the anti-tumor and anti-angiogenic drug, Paclitaxel (PTX).
METHODS AND RESULTS:
In this study, we evaluated the stability of PTX in standard cell culture conditions by analyzing the metabolites produced by MSCs after their incorporation of the drug. We are able to show that MSCs do not release either 3-OH-PTX or 6-OH-PTX metabolites (having a lower anticancer activity) but release an active PTX molecule together with the isomer 7-Epitaxol, is known to maintain the whole biological activity.
CONCLUSIONS:
This confirms that the simple procedure of MSCs priming with a drug (without any genetic cell manipulation), in our case PTX, does not modify the activity of the molecule and provides a new biological-device to carry and deliver PTX in tumor sites, by contributing to improve drug efficacy and target selectivity in cancer therapy.
