Abstract: Sinenxan A (2), isolated from tissue culture, possesses an A/B/C ring skeletonwithout 1,7,9,13-oxygen functionality of paclitaxel (1). Two 1,7,9,13-deoxy, C-14β side chain analogues 4 and 5 of 1 were synthesized from 2 by incorporating the 4,20-double bond into the D-ring and introducing the side chain at 14β position. Compounds 4 and 5 showed significantly decreasedactivity in the cytotoxicity assay in vitro against KB, A2780, and HCT-8. In tubulin assembly assaythey did not show any activity at 10 μmol.L-1.

Key words: Sinenxan A, Sinenxan A, C-14β side chain paclitaxel analogues, C-14β side chain paclitaxel analogues, Semisynthesis, Semisynthesis
