Abstract

Coupling between brevifoliol (1) and β-lactam (2) yielded, after protecting group removal, brevifoliol 13-[N-benzoyl-(2′R,3′S)-3′-phenylisoserinate] (3). This novel taxol analogue was found to be inactive in the microtubule binding assay and had little cytotoxicity against B16 melanoma cells.
