- Abstract
Epothilones are 16‐membered macrolides that act as microtubule‐targeting agents to tackle cancer. Many synthetic analogues have been investigated for their activity, yet often based on macrolide structures. A notable exception is Ixabepilone, an azalide whose metabolic stability and pharmacokinetics are significantly improved. Exploiting the amide‐triazole bioisosterism, in this work we report the synthesis of the first generation of epothilones lacking the macrolide or azalide structure, with the ester or amide linkage replaced by a triazole unit. Together with the synthesis of this new analogue, computational and biological evaluations have been performed too.
