Phenstatin and its derivatives with the modified ring A have been synthesized, using plant allylpolyalkoxybenzenes as a starting material. The targeted molecules were evaluated in a phenotypic sea urchin embryo assay for antiproliferative activity. It was found that phenstatin ring A modifications yielded antimitotic compounds. The most effective myristicin derivative 7d (combretastatin A-2 analogue) was determined to be ca. 10 times more potent than phenstatin, displaying antimitotic tubulin-destabilizing activity at the same concentration range as combretastatins. In contrast to combretastatins, 7d featured the steric stability with potential for further design as anticancer agent. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
