Formulating Paclitaxel in Nanoparticles Alters Its Disposition

Abstract
Paclitaxel is active and widely used to treat multiple types of solid tumors. The commercially available paclitaxel formulation uses Cremophor/ethanol (C/E) as the solubilizers. Other formulations including nanoparticles have been introduced. This study evaluated the effects of nanoparticle formulation of paclitaxel on its tissue distribution.
