title: Design, synthesis, biochemical, and biological evaluation of nitrogen-containing trifluoro structural modifications of combretastatin A-4.
abstract: 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 microM), and cytotoxic against selected human cancer cell lines. This new lead compound is among the most active from a group of related structural modifications.
