4–40 min. Both treatments stimulated the production of major taxanes: Taxol, 10-
deacetylbaccatin, and baccatin III. The highest amounts of these taxanes (0.46, 0.26, and
0.07 mg/l, respectively) were obtained at 8 and 20 min of the treatment at 455 mW.
Ultrasound had no adverse effects on cell viability, growth, or membrane integrity. Increased
release of taxanes by ultrasound resulted not from increased membrane permeability but …
