Table 1. Inhibition of Tubulin Polymerization, Inhibition of the Growth of MCF-7 Human Breast Carcinoma Cells by Compounds 2–16, and Inhibition of the Binding of Colchicine to Tubulina.
Experiments were performed in duplicate or triplicate.
Inhibition of tubulin polymerization. Tubulin was at 10 μM in the assembly assay. CSA4 as a reference compound yielded IC50s in the 0.54–0.73 mM range.
Inhibition of the growth of MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells.
Inhibition of [3H]colchicine binding: tubulin, [3H]colchicine, inhibitor at 1:5:5 μM.
Inhibition of [3H]colchicine binding: tubulin, [3H]colchicine, inhibitor at 1:5:1 μM: 6, 69 ± 1%; 9, 66 ± 2%. Inhibition of colchicine binding by CSA4: 98% at 5 μM, 78% at 1 μM.
