A new trifluorinated amino-combretastatin analogue, ( Z) -2-(4′-methoxy-3′-aminophenyl)-1-(3,4,5-trifluorophenyl)ethene, prepared by chemical synthesis, was found to be a potent inhibitor of tubulin assembly (IC 50 = 2.9 μM), and cytotoxic against selected human cancer cell lines. This new lead compound is among the most active from a group of related structural modifications. |
