Novel cyanocombretastatins as potent tubulin polymerisation inhibitors

A series of novel cyanocombretastatins bearing a 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl moiety combined with a variety of substituted phenyl rings, were synthesised and their antitumour activity was evaluated. The Z-cyanocombretastatins were synthesised in a one-step protocol in high purity and yield. Fluoro, bromo...

Zusammenfassung:A series of novel cyanocombretastatins bearing a 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl moiety combined with a variety of substituted phenyl rings, were synthesised and their antitumour activity was evaluated. The Z-cyanocombretastatins were synthesised in a one-step protocol in high purity and yield. Fluoro, bromo, iodo, and derivatives with boronic acid and an ethyne function at meta position of the B ring were synthesised. In vitro MTT bioassays against human chronic myelogenous leukaemia (K562) and transfected breast adenocarcinoma (MDA NQO1) cell lines, revealed promising IC50 inhibitory values in nanomolar range (
