Fluoro taxols with antitumor activity.

摘要

This invention relates to a fluorinated taxol of formula I <CHEM> in which R<1> is -COR<z> in which R<z> is RO- or R; R<g> is C1-6 alkyl, C2-6 alkenyl, C2-6 alkynyl, C3-6 cycloalkyl, or a radical of the formula -W-R<x> in which W is a bond, C2-6 alkenediyl, or -(CH2)t-, in which t is one to six; and R<x> is naphthyl, furyl, thienyl or phenyl, and furthermore R<x> can be optionally substituted with one to three same or different C1-6 alkyl, C1-6 alkoxy, halogen or -CF3 groups; R<2> is -OCOR, H, OH, -OR, -OSO2R, -OCONR<o>R, -OCONHR, -OCOO(CH2)tR, or -OCOOR; and R and R<o> are independently C1-6 alkyl, C2-6 alkenyl, C3-6 cycloalkyl, C2-6 alkynyl, or phenyl, optionally substituted with one to three same or different C1-6 alkyl, C1-6 alkoxy, halogen or -CF3 groups. Further provided by this invention are pharmaceutical formulations and useful intermediates for the fluorinated taxols of formula I. A method of treating mammalian tumors using a compound of formula I is also provided.
