title: One-pot synthesis of benzo[b]furan and indole inhibitors of tubulin polymerization.
abstract: Benzo[b]furan and indole analogues of some recently identified benzo[b]thiophene inhibitors of tubulin polymerization have been prepared, and their biological activity has been assessed. Several very potent analogues were identified.
