Azaindole derivatives are inhibitors of microtubule dynamics, with anti‐cancer and anti‐angiogenic activities

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Drugs targeting microtubules are commonly used for cancer treatment. However, the potency of microtubule inhibitors used clinically is limited by the emergence of resistance. We thus designed a strategy to find new cell-permeable microtubule-targeting agents. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Using a cell-based assay designed to probe for microtubule polymerization status, we screened a chemical...
