Tubulin Polymerization-IN-1 prodrug

Description

Tubulin Polymerization-IN-1 prodrug Compound 2b is a palladium Pd -mediated tubulin polymerization inhibitor prodrug. Developed based on colchicine binding site inhibitors CBSIs , it reduces toxicity and enhances targeted release properties. Compared to the parent compound, Tubulin Polymerization-IN-1 prodrug exhibited 68.3-fold lower cytotoxicity, which can be restored in situ in the presence of Pd resin. Mechanistic studies showed that its anticancer activity is consistent with CBSIs. In vivo, Tubulin Polymerization-IN-1 prodrug significantly inhibited tumor growth 63.2 % when activated by Pd resin. It holds promise for research in the field of anticancer therapy.
