Y. Ueda et al., SYNTHESIS AND ANTITUMOR EVALUATION OF 2'-OXYCARBONYLPACLITAXELS (PACLITAXEL-2'-CARBONATES), Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 4(15), 1994, pp. 1861-1864
A number of 2'-oxycarbonylpaclitaxels (paclitaxel-2'-carbonates) 3 hav
e been prepared and evaluated for their cytotoxicity and in vivo antit
umor activity. Most of these paclitaxel-2'-carbonates were found to ex
hibit in vivo antitumor activity in the i.p. M109 murine tumor model s
ystem, comparable to that of the parent drug.
