Taxol la is an antitumor plant diterpene isolated from the yew tree Taxus spp. in the late 1960s. It was named taxol at the time of its first isolation by Wani et al. In the 1990s, when Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) launched it on the market, Taxol was registered as an anticancer product, and Taxol was assigned a generic name, pacli-taxel. Both taxol and paclitaxel are referred to in this chapter to describe the same compound.

Yew species (Taxus spp) throughout the word are hosts to the majority of endophytic organisms. Most commonly, these organisms are fungi, living in a commensal or in a symbiotic relationship with their host plant. 

The yew (Taxus spp.) contains the alkaloids taxine (246) and ephedrine, the former being responsible for the toxic properties of the tree. All species of yew, and all parts of the tree except the flesh of the berry, are...

Feeding of (3i )- and (3 S)-L-pHi]-tyrosine alone or in admixture with [U- C]-tyrosine gave clear evidence that in Sorghum and Taxus spp the hydroxylation in step d proceeded with retention of configuration and so indicated the operation of a mixed-function oxidase. Exceptional incorporations (15-72%) were obtained for the uptakes of 2-methylpropanenitrile and the corresponding 2-methylbutane compound into linamarin and lotaustralin by Lepidoptera spp thus steps d and e were clearly demonstrated to occur in insects as well as in plants... 

There have been numerous reports and reviews on the constituents of Taxus spp., especially, taxol [28]- Recently, J. Kobayashi and K.Fuji reported on the constituents of Taxus spp [29,30]- This paper will review the work of these authors. 

The development of Taxol as well as Taxotere as important chemotherapeutic agents represents an exceedingly interesting saga in the development of drags derived from a natural product. Interestingly, preparations from Taxus spp. have been used for hundreds of years, although none of these uses reflected a common application for the treatment of cancers.

Yews Taxus spp., Taxaceae) produce a series of alkaloids such as spicataxine (40) and taxine-B (41) that are highly toxic (Blechert and Guenard, 1990) (Fig. 36.10). Because of interest in taxol (42), the alkaloid chemistry of most Taxus species mdAustrotaxus spicata has now been investigated (Blechert and Guenard, 1990).
