PubMed Google Scholar. Cellular survival: a play in three Akts. Genes Dev. Chemotherapy drugs that affect cells only when they are dividing are called cell-cycle specific. Chemotherapy drugs that affect cells when they are at rest are called cell-cycle non-specific.

The scheduling of chemotherapy is set based on the type of cells, rate at which they divide, and the time at which a given drug is likely to be effective. This is why chemotherapy is typically given in cycles.

Chemotherapy is most effective at killing cells that are rapidly dividing. Unfortunately, chemotherapy does not know the difference between the cancerous cells and the normal cells. The "normal" cells will grow back and be healthy but in the meantime, side effects occur.

Different drugs may affect different parts of the body. Taxol belongs to a class of chemotherapy drugs called plant alkaloids. Plant alkaloids are made from plants. The vinca alkaloids are made from the periwinkle plant catharanthus rosea. The taxanes are made from the bark of the Pacific Yew tree taxus. The later has occurred for almost two decades, but these attempts have been thwarted by the magnitude of synthetic challenge.

The first semisynthetic version of pacitaxol Taxol reached the US market in This semisynthetic version uses the needles and twigs of the easily grown Taxus baccata, the European yew. With this renewable resource, both oncologists and ecologists have been able to breathe more easily. This does not mean that research and development are over. Drug companies, biotech firms, and academic researchers are still working intensely on taxanes- a family that includes pacitaxel, its close cousin docetaxel, and a host of other relatives Journal of the National Cancer Institute, The ability to synthesize taxol is of great importance, as chemists will now be able to concoct modified versions of the drug.

Natural taxol suffers from poor solubility, which makes it difficult to administer. Nicalaou says, "We might find one [modification] that is less toxic and more effective than [natural] taxol. There are a lot of advances to be made" Science, Both methods of synthesis take more than 30 steps. This is not considered commercially viable. Yields are reported to be about 0. The first carbon-carbon bond between rings A and C was created through reaction of the carbanion generated from sulphonylhydrazone 2 and aldehyde 3 Shapiro reaction.

Subsequent manipulation of the functional groups provided the dialdehyde 4 , and ring B was closed using a McMurry reaction mediated by titanium trichloride and activated zinc.
