Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a new taxane having the structure (1), which is isolatable from root bark of plants of the Taxus genus. The compound (1) is endowed with antitumor activity higher than the one of taxol, the former being active, unlike the latter, also against adriamicine resistant cells and as antileukemic drug. ##STR1##
