Abstract

The novel molecular structures of the epothilones, for example epothilone A (1, Figure I), coupled with their antifungal"'21 and antitumor activities ['41 and microtubule binding properties [41 promise an exciting new chapter in chemistry, biology, and medicine. Particularly intriguing is the ability of these compounds to displace taxol from its binding site on microtubules,[41 towards which epothilones exhibit much higher affinity than ta~ ol.[~ l ...
