Abstract

[formula: see text] 3-Cyano epothilones 15-18 are the only examples of non-hydroxy C-3-substituted analogues. Their tubulin binding affinity and cytotoxicity provide meaningful structure-activity relationship information on the dependence of C-1/C-3 conformation upon activity. 12-Cyano epothilone 24 has improved pH stability over epothilone B, and its activity further supports the hypothesis that C-12 stereochemistry is not critical for tubulin affinity.
