Novel phenstatin analogues with a 2-naphthyl moiety combined with either a 2,3,4- or a 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl ring have been synthesized, and their tubulin polymerization inhibiting and cytotoxic activities have been evaluated. The 2-naphthyl ring is a better replacement for the 3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl ring in the phenstatin series than in the combretastatin series. For the naphthylphenstatins, the carbonyl is required, and the preferred orientation of the trimethoxyphenyl ring is the one found in combretastatins. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
