Abstract

Disclosed are 7-substituted taxoid derivatives, in particular taxol-7-carbazates which have improved water-solubility and/or enhanced therapeutic activity and methods of making the same. The preferred taxoid derivatives have the formula: ##STR1## wherein Z is H or ##STR2## Y=O or S; X=CH.sub.2 or O; n=zero or a positive integer, preferably one; with the proviso that when n=O, X=CH.sub.2 ; R=C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, haloalkyl, carboxyalkyl, thioalkyl, sulfonylalkyl, phenyl, hydroxyphenyl, aminophenyl, carboxyphenyl, a polyalkyleneoxide homopolymer or water soluble polyalkyleneoxide containing copolymer, having a molecular weight of from about 1,000 to about 20,000; ##STR3## W=O, N--L, S or SO.sub.2 ; Ph is a phenyl group; L=H, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or phenyl; and R.sub.2 =C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl, phenyl or a polyalkyleneoxide homopolymer or water soluble polyalkyleneoxide containing copolymer, having a molecular weight of from about 1,000 to about 20,000.
