Abstract:
:Epothilone is a newly developed antitumor drug; its antitumor principle is to stop the cell cycle by binding to tubulin in tumor cells, promoting tubulin polymerization, inhibiting depolymerization of microtubules, and ultimately inducing apoptosis. There are many analogs of epothilone, such as epothilone B, epothilone D, ixabepilone, sagopilone, 21-amino-epothilone B and KOS-1584. Herein, the synthesis and antitumor activity of epothilones B and D were summed up. The antitumor activity of epothilone analogs was also compared. Synthesis of epothilone and its analogs is more complex, and choosing the proper synthetic method is very important. Moreover, these compounds have obvious antitumor effect. The epothilone and its analogs will continue to play an important role in the future treatment of tumors.
