Title: Multidrug resistant cancer cells susceptibility to cytotoxic taxane diterpenes from Taxus yunnanensis and Taxus chinensis.

Authors: Shinozaki Y, Fukamiya N, Uchiyama C, Okano M, Tagahara K, Bastow KF, Lee KH.

Abstract: Twelve taxane diterpenes (1-12), which were isolated previously from the EtOH extract of the aerial parts of Taxus yunnanensis or Taxus chinensis, were evaluated for cytotoxicity against the multidrug resistant cancer cells KB-VIN and KB-7d. Compounds and showed significant cytotoxicity in these cell lines. Compounds and also demonstrated significant activity against KB-7d. The biflavonoid isolated from T. yunnanensis was only marginally cytotoxic against the A549 (lung) cell line, but a simple methoxylated analogue (14) was inactive.
