Tumors resistant to the potent anti-cancer drugs Paclitaxel and Doxorubicin are becoming increasingly problematic in the successful treatment of certain patients. A new class of microtubule stabilizing compounds isolated from plants of the genus Tacca have been found to have excellent anti-cancer activity in vivo against cell lines resistant to drugs of the taxane class. We report the structures of the most active compounds as Taccalonolide A, E, B and N as determined by NMR and comparison with published results as well as the structure of additional active components of differing structural classes.
