A 2-step synthesis of Combretastatin A-4 and derivatives as potent tubulin assembly inhibitors
摘要:
A series of combretastatin derivatives were designed and synthesised by a two-step stereoselective synthesis by use of Wittig olefination followed by Suzuki cross-coupling. Interestingly, all new compounds (2a-2i) showed potent cell-based antiproliferative activities in nanomolar concentrations. Among the compounds, 2a, 2b and 2e were the most active across three cancer cell lines. In addition, these compounds inhibited the polymerisation of tubulin in vitro more efficiently than CA-4. They caused cell cycle arrest in G(2)/M phase further confirming their ability to inhibit tubulin polymerisation.

Well-characterized, ruthenium nanoparticle-intercalated montmorilloniteclay was used as a catalyst in solvent-free alkene hydrogenation reactions and the corresponding products were obtained in good yields. The catalytic activity of ruthenium nanoparticle-intercalated montmorilloniteclay was successfully tested with 16 different functionalized and non-functionalized alkenes. Apart from alkene reduction
