be less active in most cases, whereas C-3 0 -CF 3 docetaxel analogs were more potent
in either normal or MDR tumor cell lines. 25 C-3 0 -thiocarbamate paclitaxel analogs
exhibited superior activitiy to that of the parent compound in HCT-116 drug-resis-
tant tumors. 34 Conjugated double and triple bonds in C3 0 -N analogs make positive
contributions to the activity against MDR tumor cells, as depicted in Section
3.2.1.3. 32

Battaglia et al. prepared a series of 2 0 -(S)-Me of paclitaxel analogs, and most
compounds are more active toward drug-resistant A2780 human lung carcinoma
and drug-resistant MCF-7 human breast carcinoma. 20 For the best compound 6c
among them, it exerted better antitumor effects on drug-resistant tumors than pacli-
taxel, docetaxel, and IDN5109 (113).
A Korean group, Roh et al., found that some C3 0 -N-debenzoyl N-acyl analogs,
without any change of substitutions at other sites, can exhibit high potencies toward
MDR tumors. Even if less active against sensitive tumor cells, all N-acyl analogs
bearing conjugated bonds tested in bioassays were as much as seven times more
active than paclitaxel against MDR tumor cells. 32
In a library with C-10-modified paclitaxel analogs with various acyl groups,
some of them, including short-chain aliphatic, most alicyclic, and some nitrogen-
containing aromatic and heteroaromatic analogs, were more effective toward drug-
resistant MCF-7R breast cancer cell lines. 40 Two C-10 spiro epoxides were pre-
pared and biologically evaluated. 67 Taxoids 42b is more active against the MDR
tumor cell line HCT-VM46 than is paclitaxel, and 42a is almost one order of mag-
nitude less active.
In 2002, it was found that a 2-diflurobenzoyl paclitaxel analog (60d) exhibited
comparable activity with paclitaxel, are best in C-2 mono- and di-substituted ben-
zoyl analogs and better than 9a and 9b in paclitaxel-resistant HCT-116/VM46 can-
cer cell lines. 77,78 It was also reported that some 2-debenzoyloxy-2a-benzamido
docetaxel analogs were comparably cytotoxic with paclitaxel toward some drug-
resistant tumor cell lines. 99
