The content of paclitaxel in Taxus varies with plant species, age, growth environment and other factors. In general, the content of taxol in taxus is very low, usually between 0.001% and 0.01%. However, certain species of taxus, such as Mandia Taxus, may have a higher taxol content, which can even reach 0.02% to 0.04%.
The age of taxus also affects the content of taxol. In general, the content of paclitaxel is low in young plants, and the content of paclitaxel gradually increases with age. Generally, the content of paclitaxel in taxus plants that are more than 4 to 5 years old can be basically stable and reach the degree of availability.
In addition, the content of paclitaxel in different parts of taxus taxus is also different. In general, the content of paclitaxel in bark and roots is high, and the content in leaves and branches is relatively low. Therefore, when extracting paclitaxel, bark and roots are usually chosen as the main raw materials.
It should be noted that the above data is for reference only and the actual paclitaxel content may vary due to various factors. Therefore, when extracting and utilizing paclitaxel, detailed research and experiments need to be carried out according to the specific situation.
