This study investigated the efficiency of acetone/water fractional precipitation for the purification of paclitaxel from plant cell cultures. Adding distilled water at room temperature into an acetone solution of dissolved crude extract until the acetone/water ratio became 40:60, 30:70, 20:80, and 10:90 (v/v) and stirring the mixture for 10 min at room temperature resulted in paclitaxel yields of 54.3, 89.1, 95.5, and 97.6%, respectively. With an acetone/water ratio of 40:60, v/v, a high yield of paclitaxel (84.8 ~ 86.0%) was produced by an additional 2 h storage at a low temperature (4oC) without additional mixing, or at room temperature with additional mixing. In contrast, preparing the 40:60 (v/v) acetone/water mixture at a low temperature (4oC) and mixing for 10 min at a low temperature, a similar high yield (~ 87.9%) of paclitaxel was obtained immediately. Thus, increasing the proportion of distilled water, or decreasing the temperature of the added water were confirmed as important for obtaining high yields of paclitaxel by acetone/water fractional precipitation.
