Article Title: | Structure-activity relationships of the epothilones and the first in vivo comparison with paclitaxel |
Abstract: | Ahead! Epothilone B (1, R = Me) displayed better antitumor activity than paclitaxel (Taxol), as shown by in vivo studies with resistant mouse tumor models. The 'acyl sector' C1-C8 in the epothilones is very sensitive to modification. The other two sectors (see structure on the right) can be varied to a certain extent; however, none of the analogues examined thus far have surpassed the parent compound. |
