Abstract: The invention relates to novel cytotoxic agents comprising taxanes and their therapeutic use as a result of delivering the taxanes to a specific cell population in a targeted fashion by chemically linking the taxane to a cell binding agent.

Abstract: The invention relates to taxanes and to novel cytotoxic agents comprising taxanes and their therapeutic use as a result of delivering the taxanes to a specific cell population in a targeted fashion by chemically linking the taxane to a cell binding agent.

Abstract: Included within the scope of the present invention are potent taxanes and taxanes containing a linking group. Also included is a cytotoxic agent comprising one or more taxanes linked to a cell binding agent. A therapeutic composition for inducing cell death in selected cell populations comprising: (A) a cytotoxic amount of one or more taxanes covalently bonded to a cell binding agent through a linking group, and (B) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient is also included. A method for inducing cell death in selected cell populations comprising contacting target cells or tissue containing target cells with an effective amount of a cytotoxic agent comprising one or more taxanes linked to a cell binding agent is included as well.

Abstract: The invention provides novel classes of Isoquinoline Derivatives. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods of making and using the compounds, are also described.

Abstract: A process for synthesizing a C-7 protected baccatin III compound represented by formula (A), which comprises reacting a 10-deacetylbaccatin III compound represented by formula (B) with a protecting agent and an acylating agent in the presence of a secondary amine and a nitrogen-containing compound. Also, a process for synthesizing a C-7 protected 10-deacetylbaccatin III compound represented by formula (C), which comprises reacting a 10-deacetylbaccatin III compound represented by formula (B) with a protecting agent in the presence of a secondary amine and a nitrogen-containing compound. In both processes the nitrogen-containing compound is selected from a nitrogen-containing heterocycle or a trialkylamine. When the nitrogen-containing heterocycle is selected, it may be an unsubstituted or a substituted pyridine or an unsubstituted or a substituted pyrazine. When a trialkylamine is selected, it may be, for example, triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine.
