Abstract

Several adamantane-based taxol mimetics were synthesized and found to be cytotoxic at micromolar concentrations and to cause tubulin aggregation. The extent of the aggregation is maximal for N-benzoyl-(2R,3S)-phenylisoseryloxyadamantane (5) and is very sensitive to the structural modifications. A hybrid compound (15), combining adamantane-based taxol mimetic with colchicine was synthesized and found to possess both microtubule depolymerizing and microtubule bundling activities in A549 human lung carcinoma cells.
