    Abstract:
    To develop non-prodrugs of taxoids with satisfactory stability in vivo, high water-solubility, and potent antitumor activity, we prepared several 10-O-sec-aminoethyl docetaxel analogs (3) and evaluated their cytotoxicity against mouse leukemia and human tumor cell lines, microtubule disassembly-inhibitory activity, and water-solubility. These analogs were synthesized from the 10-O-allyl baccatin derivatives (5a-c) using the beta-lactam synthon method. Among these analogs, the 10-O-(2-morpholinoethyl) (18, 21) and 10-O-(2-thiomorpholinoethyl) (19, 24) analogs exhibited cytotoxicity comparable or superior to that of docetaxel (2). In addition, the methanesulfonic acid salt (18a) had a high water-solubility.
