Taxine B (3), isolated from the dried needles of Taxus baccata, was converted into six novel 7-deoxypaclitaxel analogs, 20, 21a,b, and 23-25, that have structural changes at C1, C2, and C4. A method for the introduction of the benzoyl function at C2, via a benzylidene acetal at C1-C2, will be revealed. All compounds showed very little or no measurable cytotoxic activity against some well-characterized human tumor cell lines, probably due to the nonacylated hydroxyl group at C4.

Synthesis and interactions of 7-deoxy-, 10-deacetoxy, and 10-deacetoxy-7-deoxypaclitaxel with NCI/ADR-RES cancer cells and bovine brain microvessel endothelial cells.

7-Deoxypaclitaxel, 10-deacetoxypaclitaxel and 10-deacetoxy-7-deoxypaclitaxel were prepared and evaluated for their ability to promote assembly of tubulin into microtubules, their cytotoxicity against NCI/ADR-RES cells and for their interactions with P-glycoprotein in bovine brain microvessel endothelial cells. The three compounds were essentially equivalent to paclitaxel in cytotoxicity against NCI/ADR-RES cells. They also appeared to interact with P-glycoprotein in the endothelial cells with the two 10-deacetoxy compounds having less interaction than paclitaxel and 7-deoxypaclitaxel.
