Transcriptome and comparative chloroplast genome analysis of Taxus yunnanensis individuals with high and low paclitaxel yield [PDF]
HeliyonPaclitaxel is a potent anti-cancer drug that is mainly produced through semi-synthesis, which still requires plant materials as precursors. The content of paclitaxel and 10-deacetyl baccatin III (10-DAB) in Taxus yunnanensis has been found to differ from

New Taxane Diterpenoids from Taxus yunnanensis [PDF]
Natural Products and Bioprospecting, 2014 Three hitherto unknown taxane diterpenoids, namely baccatin VIII (1), baccatin IX (2), and baccatin X (3), along with 10 known analogues were isolated from an ethanolic extract of the twigs and leaves of Taxus yunnanensis. The new structures were characterized based on extensive spectroscopic analysis.
