Tubulin, the major structural component of microtubules, is a target for the development of anticancer agents. A series of (Z)-1-aryl-3-arylamino-2- propen-1-one (10) were synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative activity in cell-based assay. The most active compound (Z)-1-(2-bromo-3,4,5- trimethoxyphenyl)-3-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenylamino)prop-2-en-1-one (10ae) was tested in 20 tumor cell lines including multidrug resistant phenotype and was found to induce apoptosis in all these cell lines with similar GI50 values. Flow cytometry studies showed that 10ae arrested the cells in G2/M phase of cell cycle. In addition to G2/M block, these compounds caused microtubule stabilization like paclitaxel and induced apoptosis via activation of the caspase family. The observations made in this investigation demonstrate that (Z)-1-Aryl-3-arylamino-2-propen-1-one (10) represents a new class of microtubule-stabilizing agents.
