Starting from 10-deacetylbaccatin III (7), the 2-debenzoyl-2-m-methoxybenzoyl analogs of the newer generation taxoids IDN5109 (3) and IDN5390 (4) were synthesized. The biological evaluation of these compounds (5 and 6, respectively) showed a general increase of cytotoxicity, as observed in first-generation anticancer taxanes.
