Starting from 7,9-diTes-10-dehydro C-secobaccatin III (4a), C-seco analogues of paclitaxel retaining biological activity were synthesised. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
Synthesis of paclitaxel (docetaxel) / 2-deacetoxytaxinine J dimers
Starting from taxanes available in multigram amounts from widespread ornamental yews (10-deacetylbaccatin III (4) and 2'-deacetoxyaustrospicatine (5)), two dimeric taxoids (3a, 3b) with potential dual target specificity (beta-tubulin and P-gp) were synthesised. Both compounds lacked significant cytotoxicity, though 3b retained a strong activity in the tubulin depolimerisation assay. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Synthesis and Evaluation of 14-Nor-A-secotaxoids
作者:Giovanni Appendino、Emanuela Belloro、Erika Del Grosso、Alberto Minassi、Ezio Bombardelli
A series of 14-nor-A-secotaxoids has been prepared from 10-deacetyl-14beta-hydroxybaccatin III (3a) and some unexpected and new reactivity of the taxane system has been revealed. The observation that the final compounds were considerably less active than taxol and their 1,10-oxygen-bridged analogues shows that the 1,10-oxygen tether can partially compensate for the opening of ring A, and suggests that 14-nor-A-secotaxoids warrant further investigation as simplified taxol mimics.
