Abstract

Inhibition of Eg5 represents a novel approach for the treatment of cancer. Here, we report the synthesis and structure-activity relationship of S-trityl-L-cysteine (STLC) derivatives as Eg5 inhibitors. Some of these derivatives such as 4f demonstrated enhanced inhibitory activity against Eg5 and induced mitotic arrest with characteristic monoastral spindles in HeLa cells.
