Abstract:
The taxane content of the needles, stems and clippings of 92 cultivars obtained from ten nurseries in the United States is presented. The analysis of 10-desacetyl baccatin III (1), baccatin III (2), 10-desacetyl taxol (3) cephalomannie (4), 10-desacetyl-7-epi-taxol (5) and taxol (6) was carried out using a high performance liquid chromatographic method developed in our laboratory. The total ‘useful’ taxane content of the leaves, stems, and clippings in the studied cultivars ranged from 0.0135–0.1471%, 0.0055–0.0462% and 0.0121–0.1183%, respectively, with 1 and 6 being the most abundant. The survey identified 18 cultivars with a content of 1 ranging from 0.015% to 0.0622% and 24 cultivars with a content of 6 ranging from 0.012% to 0.062%; compound 2 was either undetectable or found in negligible amounts in all the cultivars studied. The contents of 3 varied between 0.0019–0.0264% and that of 4 between 0.0017–0.0386%, while that of 5 between 0–0.0107%.
