Abstract

Tubulin, the major structural component of microtubules, participates actively in mitotic spindle formation and chromosomal organization during cell division. Thus, this protein is a target of anti-mitotic drugs called anti-tubulin agents. Since only a few molecules like taxoids or Vinca-alkaloids are used for cancer chemotherapy, a lot of energy is being spent in finding new anti-mitotic drugs. One of the approaches consists in the synthesis and analysis of ...
