Docetaxel-d9 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of docetaxel by GC- or LC-MS. Docetaxel is a semisynthetic analog of paclitaxel that inhibits microtubule disassembly (IC50 = 0.2 μM) and inhibits cell replication (IC50 = 0.13 μM).1 It has proven more effective than taxol in preventing the proliferation of cancer cells.1,2 Docetaxel has potential applications in breast cancer and hormone-refractory prostate cancer.3,4
