Abstract

Novel and known analogues of thiocolchicine were evaluated in vitro in a tubulin binding assay and in vivo in mice for acute toxicity and in the P388 lymphocytic leukemia assay. This evaluation included N-acyldeacetylthiocolchicines, N-(alkoxycarbonyl) deacetylthiocolchicines, thiodemecolcine and its methyl carbamate, and O-ethyl ethers of demethylthiocolchicines. Selective ether cleavage of thiodemecolcine with concentrated ...
