  • Epothilone analogs
    Publication number: 20040127432
    Abstract: Epothilone A, epothilone B, analogs of epothilone and libraries of epothilone analogs are synthesized. Epothilone A and B are known anticancers agents that derive their anticancer activity by the prevention of mitosis through the induction and stabilization of microtubulin assembly. The analogs of epothilone are novel. Several of the analogs are demonstrated to have a superior cytotoxic activity as compared to epothilone A or epothilone B as demonstrated by their enhanced ability to induce the polymerization and stabilization of microtubules.
    Type: Application

  • Epothilone analogs
    Patent number: 6380394
    Abstract: Novel analogs of epothilone A, epothilone B, and epothilone C are synthesized by Stille coupling thazole-stannanes to macrolactone intermediates. The synthetic epothilone analogs selectively prevent mitosis in cancer cells through the induction and stabilization of microtubulin assembly. Selected synthetic epothilone analogs are demonstrated to have greater bioactivity than their corresponding native compound.
