Novel taxoids of general formula (I). In general formula (I), X is an oxygen or sulphur atom; Z is a hydrogen atom or a radical of general formula (II), wherein R1 is an optionally substituted benzoyl radical or a radical R2-O-CO- where R2 is an alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, bicycloalkyl, optionally substituted phenyl or heterocyclyl radical, and R3 is an alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, phenyl, naphthyl or aromatic heterocyclic radical. The novel products of general formula (I), wherein Z is a radical of general formula (II), have remarkable antitumoral and antineoplastic properties. |
