Frustrated by the scarcity and of the drug, scientists, including Professor of Chemistry Eric N. Jacobsen, have attempted to develop synthetic forms of taxol. Jacobsen's work centers on finding a natural product which can be modified to taxol. Recently, the chemist successfully synthesized taxol from a compound known as diterpene, obtainable in large quantities from nature...
With the increased availability of taxol which the work of Jacobsen, Ojima and others might bring, many oncologists are using it to treat patients with ovarian and breast cancer...
With all the information provided by recent studies, Jacobsen says the hope and optimism regarding taxol has decreased significantly since its first isolation...
