Heterocyclic-Fused Pyrimidines as Novel Tubulin Polymerization Inhibitors Targeting the Colchicine Binding Site: Structural Basis and Antitumor Efficacy
Abstract
We report the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of heterocyclic-fused pyrimidines as tubulin polymerization inhibitors targeting the colchicine binding site with significantly improved therapeutic index. Additionally, for the first time, we report high-resolution X-ray crystal structures for the best compounds in this scaffold, 4a, 4b, 6a, and 8b. These structures not only confirm their direct binding to the colchicine site in tubulin...
