Abstract

Novel analogues of the microtubule-stabilising agent dictyostatin were designed using existing SAR information from the structurally related discodermolide, synthesised by a late-stage diversification strategy and evaluated in vitro for growth inhibition against a range of human Cancer cell lines, including those known to exhibit Taxol-resistance (AsPC-1, DLD-1, PANC-1, NCI/ADR).
