Three fluorescent probes 3a, 3b, and 4 have been synthesized through conjugation of fluorescein and difluorescein groups to the 7-OH of C-2 modified paclitaxel and cephalomannine derivatives with very high affinity to microtubules. All these probes exhibited potent tubulin assembly promotion and tumor cell killing activities, thus may be useful as tools for the determination of thermodynamic parameters and exploration of ligand-microtubule interactions.
