Taxol: R1= Ph, R2= Ac Taxotere: R= OBu’, R2= H microtubules and the bound-state conformation of Taxol or Taxotere are not known, potentially important features of the binding site have been suggested2 based on the reported crystal structure of Taxotere. 3 4567The solution conformation of Taxol, as it has been characterized in chloroform4-7 and methylene chloride, 8 seems to be very similar to that in the crystal structure. There is evidence inall these cases for a network of hydrogen bonding between the 1'ester carbonyl, the 2'hydroxyl, and the 3'NH which structures the phenylisoserine side chainrelative to the quite rigid taxane ring system. The apparent robustness of this conformation in the solid state and a variety of organic solvents has contributed to the idea that the Taxol side chain is “preor-ganized” to bind to microtubules in this conformation. 9’10 Very recently the results of two combined NMR and molecular modeling studies havebeen published which suggest that in more polar solutions (Taxotere in methanol, 11Taxol in DMSO/water12)
