1a resembles that of the cis alkene 1. Additional inactive compounds prepared include the benzylisoquinoline series 28-32 as well as the protoberberines 38 and 39. Shortening the two-carbonbridge of 1a to a one-carbon bridge in the diphenylmethane 20 resulted in a decrease in cytotoxicity and tubulin polymerization inhibitory activity. Although the corresponding benzophenone 18 was as active as 1a as
