Caulerpenyne-colchicine hybrid: synthesis and biological evaluation

Bioorg Med Chem. 2006 Aug 15;14(16):5540-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2006.04.024. Epub 2006 May 22.

Abstract

The synthesis of an analog of caulerpenyne having a trimethoxyaryl moiety was achieved in 11% overall yield over 11 steps. Its biological activity has been evaluated as inhibitor of in vitro tubulin polymerization or angiogenesis.
