A variety of colchicine, demecolcine, and isocolchicine derivatives were examined for their potency in the lymphocytic leukemia P388 screen in mice, for their toxicity in mice, and for their binding to microtubule protein. A qualitatively direct correlation was found between in vivo potency and toxicity; potency appeared to be less well correlated with tubulin binding. The most potent compounds were N-acylated analogues of colchicine and demecolcine. Among the monophenols, only 3-demethylcolchicine showed an appreciable effect in vitro and in vivo and was less toxic than colchicine. Improved methods were found for the preparation of 3- and 2-demethylcolchicine, which involved the use of 85% phosphoric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid, respectively. Decoupling experiments with 1H NMR proved that the double bond of dehydro-7-deacetamidocolchiceine and its derived tropolonic methyl ethers 24 and 25 was in the 5,6 position, rather than the 6,7 position formerly tentatively assigned.

Four new colchicinoids, gloriosamines A–D, from Gloriosa rothschildiana
Four new colchicinoids, gloriosamines A-D, were isolated from the aerial parts of Gloriosa rothschildiana. The structure of gloriosamine A, including the absolute configuration, was determined by chemical conversion from colchicine. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A series of natural and synthetic colchicine derivatives was examined for their potency in the lymphocytic leukemia P388 screen in mice, for their toxicity in mice, and for their binding to microtubule protein. The natural alkaloids cornigerine and colchifoline and several N,O-substituted analogues of colchifoline were found to be as potent and as toxic as colchicine in the P388 screen with good affinity for tubulin. The 1,2-(methylenedioxy)-substituted isomer of cornigerine was considerably less potent in vivo than could have been anticipated from the in vitro tubulin binding data. Several N-acyl and N-aroyl derivatives prepared from deacetylcolchicine showed high potency in the in vitro and in vivo screens. Colchicide was found to be highly potent in vivo, and N-carbethoxydeacetylcolchicine, a synthetic analogue of colchicine with a N-carbethoxy instead of an N-acetyl function, showed interesting biological properties.
