The syntheses and preliminary evaluation of the first potential bioreductive paclitaxel prodrugs are described. These prodrugs were designed as potential candidates in more selective chemotherapy by targeting hypoxic tumour tissue. Aromatic nitro and azide groups were used as the bioreductive trigger. Generation of paclitaxel occurs after reduction and subsequent 1.6-elimination or 1,8-elimination. All prodrugs are stable in buffer and indeed give paclitaxel after chemical reduction of the aromatic nitro or azide functionality. In aerobic cytotoxicity assays several prodrugs exhibit diminished cytotoxicity. These compounds are interesting candidates for further biological evaluation. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
