title: Synthesis of cryptothilone 1, the first cryptophycin-epothilone hybrid.
abstract: A hybrid structure was synthesized in which one portion is characteristic of a cryptophycin and a second sector bears the signature of an epothilone. The hybrid, in contrast to parent cryptophycin and epothilone systems, showed no effect on the tubulin assembly reaction.
