Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a fatal malignancy the clinical outcome of which is unaltered by current therapeutic modalities. A recent phase 1 clinical trial of combretastatin A4 phosphate (CA4P) produced a long-lasting total remission in a patient with ATC. CA4P is a tubulin-binding agent

Tubulin protein is a major target for anticancer drug discovery. As a result, antimitotic agents constitute an important class of the current anticancer drugs. Hundreds of tubulin inhibitors, naturally occurring, semisynthetic or synthetic, have been reported. Among these, combretastatin A-4 (CA-4),

Developments of combretastatin A-4 derivatives as anticancer agents.

The antineoplastic constituents of Combretum caffrum (Eckl. and Zeyh) Kuntze (Combretaceae family), a species indigenous to South Africa, have been investigated. Subsequently we isolated a series of closely related bibenzyls, stilbenes, and phenanthrenes from C. caffrum. Some of the stilbenes proved
