Abstract

The combretastatins are a group of antimitotic agents isolated from the bark of an African tree, Combretum caffrum. 1 Biological studies of these compounds have revealed that they are among the most cytotoxic agents tested so far against several cancer cell lines. 2 They share a common binding site on tubulin with several other well-known antimitotic agents such as colchicine, podophyllotoxin, and steganacin. Combretastatins A-1 (1), B-1 (2), and A-4 (3) ...
