Taxoids bearing structural modifications of the taxane skeleton were prepared from 10-deacetylbaccatin III, a diterpene isolated from the leaves of Taxus baccata. Chemical transformations include reduction of the C11-C12 double bond, contraction of the A ring, rearrangements of the B and C rings as well as opening of the oxetane and other modifications at carbons 2, 4 and 5. Coupling of these 10-deacetylbaccatin III modified analogues with the acid side chain of docetaxel led to compounds which were tested in a microtubule disassembly assay.
