Abstract

Abstract A series of novel oxazole-bridged analogs of combretastatin A-4 bearing a benzo [d]-imidazole as B ring were synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative activities against five human cancer cell lines. Among all the synthesized compounds, the N-unsubstituted benzoimidazole analog 5 and the analogs 6b, 7a and 7b with a small hydrophobic group on nitrogen atom of benzoimidazole ring were identified as the most potent inhibitors of tumor ...
