One-pot synthesis of benzo[b]furan and indole inhibitors of tubulin polymerization

J Med Chem. 2002 Jun 6;45(12):2670-3. doi: 10.1021/jm020077t.

Abstract

Benzo[b]furan and indole analogues of some recently identified benzo[b]thiophene inhibitors of tubulin polymerization have been prepared, and their biological activity has been assessed. Several very potent analogues were identified.
