  • Publication number: 20060142252
    Abstract: A diverse set of tubulin binding agents have been discovered which are structurally characterized, in a general sense, by a semi-rigid molecular framework capable of maintaining aryl-aryl, pseudo pi stacking distances appropriate for molecular recognition of tubulin. In phenolic or amino form, these ligands may be further functionalized to prepare phosphate esters, phosphate salts, phosphoramidates, and other prodrugs capable of demonstrating selective targeting and destruction of tumor cell vasculature.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 21, 2006
    Publication date: June 29, 2006
    Inventors: Kevin Pinney, Vani Mocharla, Zhi Chen, Charles Garner, Anjan Ghatak, Usha Ghatak, Mallinath Hadimani, Jimmy Kessler, James Dorsey, Klaus Edvardson, David Chaplin, Joseph Prezioso
