Anticancer pharmaceuticals

Taxol is a registered trademark of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company for an anticancer pharmaceutical preparation containing paclitaxel. 

Lactones and the macrocyclic lactones, like the y- and 5-lactones, are of importance since these ring systems are found widespread in nature. The simpler substituted lactones are important building blocks in the synthesis of many natural products, e.g. in the fields of antibiotics, anticancer pharmaceuticals, pheromones and prostaglandins to name but a few. 

The last approach depends upon particular aspects of ruthenium in the II and Til oxidation states as well as certain differences between tumor and normal tissue metabolism. It Is, In concept, applicable to each of the major categories of anticancer pharmaceuticals mentioned above and provides... 

Significant differences exist between the chemistry of ammlne Ru(II) and Ru(IIl) Ions (11,25) which can be taken to advantage In the design of anticancer pharmaceuticals.

The utility of (a-haloalkyl)boronic esters as reagents for asymmetric synthesis is well established. A wide variety of products can be made in high stereopurity. This fundamental research has been supported for many years by the National Science Foim-dation, with periods of additional support from the National Institutes of Health. The discovery of the useful anticancer pharmaceutical Velcade , which is derived from an (a-aminoalkyl)boronic ester made from an (a-haloaIkyl)boronic ester, provides an example of the practical long-range benefits of support for fundamental research.
