Disclosed is a method of crystallizing docetaxel comprising combining docetaxel and at least one solubilizing solvent to obtain a solution, wherein the solubilizing solvent is methylene chloride and adding an anti-solvent to the solution to obtain a crystalline docetaxel, wherein the anti-solvent is water.

Purification of taxanes

Disclosed is a method of crystallizing a taxane comprising combining the taxane and methylene chloride to obtain a solution and adding an anti-solvent to the solution to obtain a crystalline taxane, wherein the anti-solvent is selected from the group consisting of hexane and heptane.

This invention is directed to a method for isolating and/or purifying one or more taxanes from materials comprising taxanes. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of: (a) treating a taxane containing material with an amino containing material attached to a solid matrix, such as a polyethyleneimine-bonded silica chromatographic resin; (b) eluting the desired taxane compound from the resin; and (c) recovering the eluted taxane compound.
