Abstract
Targeted separation of active phytochemicals is urgently needed in the natural medicine field. In this paper, due to the natural porosity and high biocompatibility of cellulose, a nanocellulose membrane combined with surface molecular imprinting was successfully prepared; the efficient nanocellulose-based molecular imprinted membrane (NC-MIM) provided good adsorption for the targeted separation of phytochemicals such as 10-deacetylbaccatin III (10-DAB), an essential intermediate in the synthesis of the anticancer drug paclitaxel. Through a series of characterization and adsorption experiments, the adsorption mechanism of NC-MIM was determined. At pH 8.0 and temperatures of 20 °C-40 °C, the maximum capacity of NC-MIM for adsorption of 10-DAB reached 66.90 mg g - 1, and the content of 10-DAB was dramatically increased 17.5-fold after adsorption. The specific adsorption results showed that NC-MIM had excellent capacity for targeted separation of 10-DAB from among taxane structural analogues. Even after ten cycles, NC-MIM demonstrated a remarkable adsorption capacity of 86.43%, thereby indicating exceptional selectivity and stability. The successful implementation of NC-MIM for green, safe, and efficient enrichment of phytochemicals from plants provides a promising new approach and valuable insights into its practical application.

Abstract
Taxane compounds have attracted wide attention due to the basic chemical structure of taxol as an alternative anticancer drug. The full-scan tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) fragmentation behaviors of seven taxane compounds were studied. For taxanes of Sc-T and Sc-T-Xyl types, diagnostic product ions are originated from a cleavage in the ester bond of the C13 position and the C-O bond of the C7 position, and the subsequent fragmentation pattern is similar to those of M-type taxanes with the loss of different numbers of acetic acid moieties (AcOH), benzoic acid moieties (BzOH), and H2O molecules. A rapid (7 min) and one-step screening method of two-dimensional microscale carbon fiber and active carbon fiber columns combined with tandem mass spectrometry (2DμCFs-MS/MS) was developed for the screening of taxane compounds from Taxus cuspidata samples. Before MS/MS analysis, the 2DμCFs system can group the sample extract without any pretreatment into three chromatographic-type fractions of strong, medium, and weak polarity to avoid matrix interference, such as lipids and pigments. The 2DμCFs-MS/MS can also conduct qualitative and quantitative analysis of taxane compounds, which is evaluated by limits of detection ranging from 3 to 50 ng mL-1, limits of quantitation ranging from 10 to 150 ng mL-1, satisfactory recoveries from 75.2 to 112.2%, and reproducibilities with relative standard deviations from 1.4 to 11.7%.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Taxus baccata L. is an evergreen conifer whose plant parts are cardiotoxic. Only the red arils of the berries are described as non-toxic and taxane-free. OBJECTIVE Extraction and HPLC-MS/MS methods were developed for the investigation of the Taxus compounds 3,5-dimethoxyphenol, 10-deacetylbaccatin III, baccatin III, cephalomannine, taxol A and taxinine M in the red arils of the yew berries. METHODOLOGY A liquid-liquid extraction method for the red arils of the fruits from three yews were developed. An accurate (ESI+) HPLC-MS/MS method was performed for the simultaneous detection and determination of the target compounds in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. RESULTS All Taxus agents obtained were detected in the red arils. Highest concentrations were determined for baccatin III and 10-deacetylbaccatin III. CONCLUSION The developed quantitative method is reliable and selective and was successfully applied for quantification of selected Taxus ingredients in red arils of Taxus baccata. It was disproved that the red arils of the berries do not contain the selected Taxus compounds.

Abstract
Since the isolation of paclitaxel and its approval for the treatment of breast cancer, various taxanes and taxane formulations have been developed. To date, almost 100 bioanalytical assays have been published with the method development and optimization often extensively discussed by the authors. This Review presents an overview of assays published between January 1970 and September 2013 that described method development and validation of assays used to quantify taxanes in biological matrices such as plasma, urine, feces and tissue samples. For liquid chromatography assays, sample pretreatment, chromatographic separation and assay performance are compared. Since this Review discusses the limitations of previously developed liquid chromatography assays and gives recommendations for future assay development, it can be used as a reference for future development of liquid chromatography assays for the quantification of taxanes in various biological matrices to support preclinical and clinical studies.

Abstract
The separation and enrichment of 10-deacetylbaccatin III (10-DAB III) and 7-xylosyl-10-deacetyl paclitaxel were studied on seven macroporous resins with special structures. The performance of 7-xylosyl-10-deacetyl paclitaxel and 10-DAB III on macroporous resins including AB-8, ADS-17, ADS-21, ADS-31, ADS-8, H1020 and NKA-II was compared according to their adsorption and desorption properties. AB-8 provided a much higher adsorption capacity for 7-xylosyl-10-deacetyl paclitaxel and 10-DAB III than other resins, and its adsorption data fitted well to the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm. According to the adsorption and desorption capacities and the adsorption isotherms, AB-8 demonstrated a remarkable capability for the preparative separation of 7-xylosyl-10-deacetyl paclitaxel and 10-DAB III from the remainder extracts free of paclitaxel. In order to optimize parameters of separation, dynamic adsorption and desorption experiments were carried out on the columns packed with AB-8 resin. The optimal conditions were: the processing volume 15 BV; concentrations of 7-xylosyl-10-deacetyl paclitaxel and 10-DAB III in feed solution 0.0657 mg/mL and 0.1494 mg/mL; flow rate 1 mL/min; temperature 35 degrees C. The gradient elution program was as follows: 30% ethanol for 3 BV, then 80% of ethanol for 6 BV, flow rate 1 mL/min. After the AB-8 resin treatment, the contents of 7-xylosyl-10-deacetyl paclitaxel and 10-DAB III in the product had increased from 0.053% and 0.2% to 3.34% and 1.69%, which were 62.43-fold and 8.54-fold of those in the untreated extracts, respectively, and the recoveries of 7-xylosyl-10-deacetyl paclitaxel and 10-DAB III were 85.85% and 52.78%. The performance achieved good separation and higher recovery of 7-xylosyl-10-deacetyl paclitaxel and 10-DAB III from remainder extracts free of paclitaxel by using AB-8 resin. It is a fast and effective method for the separation and enrichment of 7-xylosyl-10-deacetyl paclitaxel and 10-DAB III.

Abstract
A method is described for the simultaneous determination of paclitaxel and three related taxoids, 10-deacetylbaccatin III (10-DAB III), baccatin III, and cephalomannine, in the extracts from the needles of three Chinese yew species, Taxus cuspidata, T. chinensis, and T. media. SPE was applied as the sample preparation technique and RP-HPLC with a photodiode array detector (PAD) was used for the analysis of extract samples. The crude extracts were treated with an improved SPE cartridge packed with a combination of 1-vinyl-pyrrolidin-2-one and divinyl-benzene. The eluent was 75% methanol. The following separation was achieved with a gradient program on an HIQ SIL C18W column in a system of ACN/water within 60 min. The samples were detected by PAD at wavelengths of 232.1 nm for 10-DAB III, 229.8 nm for baccatin III and paclitaxel, and 223.9 nm for cephalomannine. The content of 10-DAB III, baccatin III, cephalomannine, and paclitaxel varied from 0.0277 to 0.0875, 0.0254 to 0.0405, 0.0715 to 0.2486, and 0.0996 to 0.1301 mg/g in fresh needles of the above yew species, respectively. The assay achieved good resolution in the separation between the four compounds, and it can be used for quality control or purity determination for those in bulk and pharmceutical dosage forms.

Abstract
The study presents five fatal cases of poisoning with Taxus spp., all of which were suicides of young people aged between 16 and 26 years. Yew leaves were consumed in four fatalities, whereas a mash from Taxus was ingested in one case. No relevant concentrations of alcohol, narcotic drugs, and pharmaceuticals were determined in postmortem toxicological screening. At forensic autopsy, a widely dilated pupil was found in two decedents. Furthermore, autopsy showed unspecific findings of intoxication in all cases: acute blood congestion of lungs, liver, kidney, and brain as well as dilated cardiac ventricles. No signs of violence could be found in any of the fatalities. Yew leaves were identified in four cases in the stomach and duodenum. 3,5-Dimethoxyphenol, the aglycon of the Taxus ingredient taxicatine, was determined as toxicological evidence for the absorption of yew ingredients. Taxus intoxication could be confirmed by 3,5-dimethoxyphenol concentrations in cardiac blood between 31 and 528 ng/ml for all cases. 3,5-Dimethoxyphenol was also detected in stomach contents as well as in urine, liver, kidneys, and brain samples. Based on the different concentrations of 3,5-dimethoxyphenol determined in the cardiac blood samples, it was concluded that the form of ingestion plays a decisive role in the process of poisoning. Finally, a toxic range for Taxus poisoning based on 3,5-dimethoxyphenol as marker substance is proposed as orientation.

Abstract
Taxanes are biologically active compounds that have been extensively used in pharmacology for their powerful anticancer properties. High specificity and low level sensitivity for analysis of these compounds have been obtained with reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (RP-HPLC/MS), but the number of applications of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) for low molecular weight analytes is rapidly growing. A new MALDI-MS approach for the rapid screening of a variety of taxanes and a tandem mass spectrometric (MS/MS) analysis of the most important and diagnostic taxane fragmentation pathways are proposed. A solid-phase extraction method followed by preliminary quantification is also reported.
