Article Title: Second-generation epothilones: Discovery of fludelone and its extraordinary antitumor properties
Abstract: Herein, we describe the development of the second generation of epothilone derivatives, which possess impressive preclinical antitumor properties. In particular, we focus on the discovery and biological evaluation of a trifluoromethyl-9,10-dehydroepothilone derivative, termed fludelone, to which we gained access through diverted total synthesis. This review serves to highlight the role of natural product-based research combined with the power of chemical synthesis in the discovery and development of valuable drug candidates.
