Abstract

Two series of taxol analogs with various N-acyl groups on 3′-phenylisoserine and isoserine A-ring side chains, respectively, were prepared, and their microtubule assembly acitivities and cytotoxicities toward J774.2 cells were evaluated. Biological activities were adversely affected by the structural modifications investigated, although the 3′-phenylisoserine series was significantly more active than the isoserine series.
