Taxol® is widely regarded as amongst the most famed natural isolates ever discovered, and has been the subject of innumerable studies in both basic and applied science. Its documented success as an anticancer agent, coupled with early concerns over supply, stimulated a furious worldwide effort from chemists to provide a solution for its preparation through total synthesis. Those pioneering studies
紫杉醇被广泛认为是有史以来发现的最著名的天然分离物之一,并且一直是基础科学和应用科学中无数研究的主题。它作为抗癌剂的成功记录,加上早期对供应的担忧,激发了全球化学家的激烈努力,以通过全合成为其制备提供解决方案。这些开创性研究证明了通过逆合成引导获得合成紫杉醇的可行性,尽管数量很少,而且需要付出巨大的努力。在实践中,所有药物化学工作和最终商业化都依赖于天然(植物材料)或生物合成衍生(合成生物学)供应。
