A series of Z and E combretastatin A-4 analogs bearing different substituents (OH, F, NO(2), NH(2), B(OH)(2)) in the 30 position were synthesized. These derivatives and Z and E combretastatin A-1 were analysed by monitoring their ability to inhibit cell growth in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Combretastatin A-1 (2a), A-4 (2b) and compound 2c were found to inhibit yeast growth. Moreover, combretatstatin A-4 (2b) and compound 2c induced a G1 arrest by affecting the synthesis of Clb5 protein, the principal S-phase cyclin. The G1 arrest is coincident with the activation of the stress activated kinase Snf1. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
