Abstract

Conjugates of epothilones and epothilone derivatives (as effectors) with suitable biomolecules (as recognition units) are described. Their production is carried out by the effectors being reacted with suitable linkers, and the compounds that are produced are conjugated to the recognition units. The pharmaceutical use of the conjugates for treating proliferative or angiogenesis-associated processes is described.
