Comparative in vivo evaluation of polyalkoxy substituted 4H-chromenes and oxa-podophyllotoxins as microtubule destabilizing agents in the phenotypic sea urchin embryo assay.
???displayArticle.abstract???
A series of polyalkoxy substituted 7-hydroxy- and 7-methoxy-4-aryl-4H-chromenes were evaluated using the sea urchin embryo model to yield several compounds exhibiting potent antimitotic microtubule destabilizing activity. Data obtained by the assay were further confirmed in the NCI60 human cancer cell screen. The replacement of methylenedioxy ring A and lactone ring D in podophyllotoxin analogues by 7-methoxy, 2-NH2, and 3-CN groups in 4-aryl-4H-chromenes resulted in potent antimitotic microtubule destabilizing agents. Feasible synthesis and high yields render 7-methoxy-4H-chromenes to be a promising series for further anticancer drug development.
