The invention relates to novel epothilon derivatives which are characterized by an oxygen atom in position 9 of the epothilon skeleton. The novel compounds interact with tubulin, stabilizing formed microtubuli. They can influence cell division in a phase-specific manner and are suitable for use in the treatment of malignant tumors such as ovarian, stomach, colon, adeno, breast, lungs, head and neck carcinoma, malignant melanoma, acute lymphocytic and myelocytic leukaemia. They are also suitable for anti-angiogenesis thereapy and for use in the treatment of chronic inflamatory diseases (psoriasis, arthritis). In order to avoid uncontrolled proliferation of cells on and to improve the compatibility of medical implants, they can be placed on or in polymer materials. The inventive compounds can be used on their own or to obtain additive or synergistic effects in combination with other classes of substances and principles which can be used in tumoral therapy. |
