Abstract
Two epimeric metabolites of Larotaxel were synthesized in eight steps from 10-DAB III as a commercial material and their structures were characterized using NMR and MS spectral data. The cytotoxicity of two metabolites was performed on breast cancer cell lines MCF-7, MX-1 and MDA-MB-231. It is remarkable that both of these two desired taxanes showed great potent cytotoxic effect.

Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
