Abstract

Our continued interest in the anticancer agent paclitaxel is driven by the desire to understand the structural features and spatial arrangement necessary for tubulin binding2 and stabilization of microtubule dynamics. 3 The recently reported class of natural products, epothilone, now provides us with compounds structurally distinct from taxol and taxol analogues but with similar biological activity. In addition, epothilones have much greater ...
