Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Feb 15;17(4):1078-81. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2006.11.023. Epub 2006 Nov 10.

Abstract

A series of 4,5-diarylisoxazoles related to combretastatin A-4 (CA-4) were synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxicity against three human cancer cell lines. Among them, compound 6e showed better cytotoxic activity than CA-4 in HeLa and HepG2 cell lines assayed with IC(50) value as low as 0.022 and 0.065nM, respectively.
