摘要
We have synthesized a series of polymethoxylated rigid analogs of combretastatin A-4 which contain a benzoxepin ring in place of the usual ethylene bridge present in the natural combretastatin products. The compounds display antiproliferative activity when evaluated against the MCF-7 and MDA human breast carcinoma cell lines. 5-(3-Hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-4-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydro-benzoxepine (11g) was found to be the most potent product when evaluated against the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. A brief computational study of the structure-activity relationship for the synthesized compounds is presented. These 4,5-diarylbenzoxepins are identified as potentially useful scaffolds for the further development of antitumor agents which target tubulin.
