title: Synthesis and microtubule binding of fluorescent paclitaxel derivatives.
abstract: The preparation of two new fluorescent derivatives of paclitaxel in which the fluorophore is bonded to paclitaxel at the C-10 position is reported. Both analogues, 10-deacetyl-10-(m-aminobenzoyl)paclitaxel (1, BTax) and 10-deacetyl-10-[7-(diethylamino) coumarin-3-carbonyl]paclitaxel (2, CTax) retain good activity as promoters of in vitro tubulin assembly. Microtubule binding enhances the emission intensity of both probes.
