Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking studies of resveratrol derivatives possessing curcumin moiety as potent antitubulin agents

A series of resveratrol derivatives possessing curcumin moiety were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative and antitubulin activity. Docking simulation was performed to position compound C5 into the colchicine binding site to determine the probable binding mode. A series of resveratro...

Description
Summary:A series of resveratrol derivatives possessing curcumin moiety were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative and antitubulin activity. Docking simulation was performed to position compound C5 into the colchicine binding site to determine the probable binding mode. A series of resveratrol derivatives possessing curcumin moiety were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against three cancer cell lines including murine melanoma B16-F10, human hepatoma HepG2 and human lung carcinoma A549. Among them, compound C5 displayed the most potent in vitro antiproliferative activity against B16-F10 with IC50 value of 0.71μg/mL. Compound C5 also exhibited good tubulin polymerization inhibitory activity with IC50 value of 1.45μg/mL. Furthermore, docking simulation was carried out to position C5 into the tubulin-colchicine binding site to determine the probable binding mode.
