Docetaxel. Determination in workplace air with high performance liquid chromatography
Journal Title: Podstawy i Metody Oceny Środowiska Pracy - Year 2018, Vol 34, Issue 2
Abstract
Docetaxel (DCT) is a plant derived cytotoxic from taxane family - mitosis inhibitors. It is used in the treatment of breast, lung and prostate cancer, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, and gastric adenoma. Docetaxel is a highly flammable liquid and health-threatening substance classified as mutagenicity category 2 and reproductive toxicity category 1B. This paper presents a method for measuring docetaxel in the workplace air with HPLC with diode array detector (DAD). The method is based on the adsorption of inhalable fraction of docetaxel aerosol on glass fiber filter, desorption with water and chromatographic analysis. The analysis was performed in reverse phase on C18 column and mobile phase – acetonitrile: ammonium acetate solution (45: 55). The measurement range was 0.6 – 10 µg/m3 for 480-L air sample. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.0065 µg/ml and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.0195 µg/ml. The developed method of docetaxel determination has been recorded as an analytical procedure (see appendix).<br/><br/>
