Abstract

In this study, the process parameters of liquid-liquid extraction were optimized to obtain a high purity and yield of paclitaxel in a pre-purification step. The optimal solvent ratio (methylene chloride/concentrated methanol extract ratio), extraction times, mixing time, and standing time for liquid-liquid extraction were 0.28 (v/v), 3(times), 30 min, and 40 min, respectively. The polar impurities from the biomass extraction were efficiently removed by liquid-liquid extraction. The complete concentration of liquid-liquid extract by rotary evaporator was reliable enough to obtain a high purity and yield of paclitaxel for subsequent purification steps.

본 연구에서는 식물세포배양으로부터 항암물질 paclitaxel을 고 순도, 고 수율로 분리 가능한 액-액 추출 공정에서의 주요 공정 변수들을 최적화 하였다. 액-액 추출을 위한 최적의 유기용매 (methylene chloride) 첨가량, 추출횟수, 혼합시간, 정체시간은 각각 0.28 (v/v), 3 (times), 30 min, and 40 min 임을 알 수 있었다. 액-액 추출 공정은 특히 메탄올을 이용한 biomass 추출물에 포함되어 있는 다량의 극성불순물을 제거하는데 매우 효과적이었다. 또한 액-액 추출 후 농축조건으로는 후속공정에서의 높은 순도의 paclitaxel 뿐만 아니라 작업의 용이성 측면에서 액-액 추출액을 rotary evaporator로 완전히 농축하는 것이 가장 바람직함을 알 수 있었다.
