  • Title: Antimicrotubular effect of calvatic acid and of some related compounds.
    Author: Gadoni E, Gabriel L, Olivero A, Bocca C, Miglietta A.

    Abstract:
    A structure-activity relationship has been established between calvatic acid and some related synthetic compounds, and their ability to inhibit GTP-induced microtubular protein polymerization in vitro. These compounds were effective in a dose- and a time-dependent manner. The most active drug was the p-chloro substituted compound, which showed its inhibitory activity without any preincubation period, which the others needed. Since if cysteine was present, polymerization was no longer affected, an involvement of titratable -SH groups of tubulin could be suggested. In contrast, taxol-induced polymerization was only slightly inhibited by these compounds, and colchicine-binding activity was not generally impaired.
