Abstract

In combination with chemical modifications, bioassays, and computational simulation techniques, C-2 benzoylthio, and benzylthio taxoids were synthesized, biologically evaluated, and their binding conformations rationalized, in order to probe the interaction of taxane molecule with beta-tubulin.
