Abstract
Based on the structural differences of compounds isolated from various species of Taxus, this brief review suggests a biogenetic approach to taxol [1]. This hypothesis could be of some help in the synthesis of this complex molecule exhibiting significant antitumor properties.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
