[reaction: see text] This work describes the synthesis of two novelmacrocyclic taxoid constructs by ring-closing olefin metathesis (RCM) and their biological evaluation. Computational studies examine conformational profiles of 1 and 2 for their fit to the beta-tubulin binding site determined by electron crystallography. The results support the hypothesis that paclitaxel binds to microtubules in a
