Recent Advances in the Chemistry and Biology of Podophyllotoxins.

TL;DR: This Review provides a survey of podophyllotoxin and its analogues isolated from plants and summarizes recent developments in the elegant total chemical synthesis, structural modifications, biosynthesis, and biotransformation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Catalytic Asymmetric Addition of Meldrum’s Acid, Malononitrile, and 1,3‐Dicarbonyls to ortho‐Quinone Methides Generated In Situ Under Basic Conditions

TL;DR: The use of mild Brønsted basic conditions for transiently generating o-QMs in catalytic asymmetric processes is unprecedented, and allows engaging productively in the reactions nucleophiles such as Meldrum's acid, malononitrile and 1,3-dicarbonyls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Triphenylphosphonium Cations of the Diterpenoid Isosteviol: Synthesis and Antimitotic Activity in a Sea Urchin Embryo Model

TL;DR: The results obtained using the sea urchin embryo model suggested that TPP conjugates of isosteviol induced mitotic spindle defects and mitotic arrest presumably by affecting mitochondrial DNA.

The amino side chains do matter: chemoselectivity in the one-pot three-component synthesis of 2-amino-4H-chromenes by supramolecular catalysis with amino-appended β-cyclodextrins (ACDs) in water

TL;DR: In this study, the one-pot three-component synthesis of 2-amino-4H-chromenes was accomplished by supramolecular catalysis using a series of well-designed amino-appended β-cyclodextrins (ACDs) in water.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of a Brønsted acid Al–MIL-53 metal–organic framework catalyst and its application in [4 + 2] cycloadditions

TL;DR: In this article, two Al-MIL-53 derived metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were developed to serve as efficient heterogeneous Bronsted acid catalysts, which were successfully incorporated into the framework by post-synthetic modification (PSM) using commercially available reagents.

Microtubule-binding agents: a dynamic field of cancer therapeutics

TL;DR: The screening of a range of botanical species and marine organisms has yielded promising new antitubulin agents with novel properties, and the three main objectives are enhanced tumour specificity, reduced neurotoxicity and insensitivity to chemoresistance mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insight into tubulin regulation from a complex with colchicine and a stathmin-like domain

TL;DR: Changes in the subunits of tubulin as it switches from its straight conformation to a curved one correlate with the loss of lateral contacts and provide a rationale for the rapid microtubule depolymerization characteristic of dynamic instability.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Overview of Tubulin Inhibitors That Interact with the Colchicine Binding Site

TL;DR: The present review is a synopsis of compounds that have been reported in the past decade that have provided an increase in understanding of the actions of CBSIs.

Podophyllotoxin: distribution, sources, applications and new cytotoxic derivatives

TL;DR: Several podophyllotoxin derivatives modified in the A, B, C, D and E rings were prepared from podophyLLotoxin and methyl isoxazopodophyllic acid and evaluated for their cytotoxicity on several neoplastic cell lines.
