This Oregon Green 488 paclitaxel derivative promises to be an important probe for labeling tubulin filaments in live cells. The fluorescent label on this new probe is attached to the 7-carbon of the paclitaxel, a strategy that permits selective binding of the probe to microtubules. Researchers have used similar fluorescent paclitaxel derivatives in a variety of systems.
