title: [Synthesis and cytotoxicity of the new taxoids].
abstract: Sinenxan A is a new biosynthetic taxane. In order to search for new taxol analogues with cytotoxicity, sinenxan A was modified and studied. Ten new taxoids containing the tetrahydrofuran ring were esterified at C14 or C10 positions with taxol/taxotere side chain. Preliminary pharmacological tests showed that some of the compounds have certain cytotoxicity on KB, HCT-8 and A2780. Meanwhile, the relationship between their structures and activity was discussed.
