Personal recollections on the early development of taxol.
All of us who have worked with taxol in the laboratory and the clinic, and the many patients all over the world who have benefited from the drug, owe a great debt of gratitude to Monroe Wall, Mansukh Wani, and their colleagues for the initial isolation and characterization of this compound.
