A new taxoid, 2-deacetyl-2a, 14b-dihydroxybaccatin IV (1), was isolated from the leaves and branches of Taxus chinensis together with the known compound baccatin IV (2). The structure of the new compound was elucidat...
The complex natural product paclitaxel (TaxolR) 1, first isolated from Taxus brevifolia, and its semisynthetic analog,docetaxel 2, represent a large family of taxane diterpenoids, which revealed excellent clinical...
Endophytic fungi are widely found in almost all kinds of plants. Many endophytic fungi can produce some physio-logical active compounds, which are same to or analog to those isolated from their hosts. Producing physio...

A new taxane diterpenoid with a rearranged 5/7/6-membered ring system was isolated from the seeds of the Chinese pew, Taxus yunnanensis. Its structure was established as 9 alpha-acetoxy-5 alpha-cinnamoy]-11(15 --> 1)-...
Microbial trdrisformation of taxoids was inveStigared: taxoid 2 was transformed into 1β and 14β hydroxylated derivahves 3 and 4, unnatural taxoid 6 was transformed into 1β-hydroxy derivative 7 and 11(15-1) abeotaxa...
Two new taxane diterpenoids, 2-deacetoxy-7,9-dideacetyltaxinine J (1) and 2-deacetoxytaxinine B (3), were isolated from the barks of Taxus chinensis. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods.
A new taxoid taxa-4(20), 11-diene-2α, 5β, 10β, 14β-tetraol-2α, 14β-diacetate (sinenxan H) (1) was obtained by biotransformation of taxa-4(20), 11-diene-2α, 5α, 10β, 14β-tetraol-2α, 5α, 10β, 14β-tetraacet...
A new taxoid with 5/716 taxane skeleton, named taxamedin A (1) was isolated from the needles of Taxus x media Hicksii. Its structure was elucidated by spectal analysis
A series of 94 taxol analogues exhibiting antitumor activity were investigated using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) method. The most optimal CoMFA from 80 compounds selected randomly yielded a two-compon...
Compound 2 with 14β-hydroxyl group was successfully converted into its epimerized α-counterpart via oxidation - reduction.The elimination product (6) was auto-oxidized to epoxide 8,even in the solid state
