Synthesis, biological evaluations, and tubulin binding poses of C-2α sulfur linked taxol analogues

In combination with chemical modifications, bioassays, and computational simulation techniques, C-2 benzoylthio, and benzylthio taxoids were synthesized, biologically evaluated, and their binding conformations rationalized, in order to probe the interaction of taxane molecule with β-tubulin.
