Abstract

Novel tubulin binding compounds having potent tubulin depolymerization activity and inhibitory activity against tubulin polymerization. The compounds are effective agents for inhibiting cellular proliferation, for example, in cancer cells. The compounds are adapted to interact favorably with a novel tubulin binding pocket, which pocket is useful for screening of anti-tubulin, anti-proliferation, and anti-cancer drugs.
