Hazel (Corylus avellana L.) as a New Source of Taxol and Taxanes
Taxol is used to treatment of variety cancers including ovarian, breast, lung, head and neck carcinomas and the AIDS-related Karposi’s carcinoma, and was originally obtained from bark of taxus brevifolia.

Introduction Cancer is a versatile disease with a high rate of relapse and mortality. Despite the presence of various treatment modalities, there is a serious need for the development of its management. Phytochemicals, which are abundant in nature, can be turned into novel medications for these types of diseases by optimizing their functions and ...

The fungal products dibenzodioxocinones promise a novel class of inhibitors against cholesterol ester transfer protein (CEPT). Knowledge as to their biosynthesis is scarce. In this report, we characterized four more dibenzodioxocinones, which along with a previously described member pestalotiollide B, delimit the dominant spectrum of secondary ...

This study used longitudinal transcriptomics and gene‐pattern classification to uncover patient‐specific mechanisms of chemotherapy resistance in breast cancer. Findings reveal preexisting drug‐tolerant states in primary tumors and diverse gene rewiring patterns across patients, converging on a few dysregulated functional modules. Despite receiving the

Studies on the total synthesis of putative intermediates in the biosynthesis of taxol
The exploration of several strategies for the synthesis of taxoids useful for studying the biosynthesis of taxol is presented. The approaches described include attempts to access the taxane carbon skeleton through closure of the B-ring across the C-2 – C-3 bond or the C-10 – C-11 bond, as well as attempts to form the A- and B-rings using an ...

The underexplored bacterial genus Aquimarina harbors a large biosynthetic potential for discovering new antibiotics. Here, the authors identify a pair of linear or cyclic bifunctional cationic lipopeptide antibiotics, aquicidine L and C4, inspired by the aquicidine gene cluster from Aquimarina.

Downstream reactions and engineering in the microbially reconstituted pathway for Taxol [PDF]
Taxol (a trademarked product of Bristol-Myers Squibb) is a complex isoprenoid natural product which has displayed potent anticancer activity. Originally isolated from the Pacific yew tree (Taxus brevifolia), Taxol has been mass-produced through processes
