Semi-synthetic taxanes with anti-tumoural activity

摘要

The present invention relates to novel derivatives obtained by oxidation and the stereospecific reduction of 10-deacetylbaccatine III, and successive esterification with a variously substituted isoserine chain to prepare taxol analogues. The products of the invention have cytotoxic and anti-tumoural activities and, when suitably formulated, can be administered by injection and/or orally.
