Synthetic methodology has been established suitable for the preparation of combretastatin A-1 (CA1) and its corresponding phosphate prodrug salt (CA1P) in high specific activity radiolabeled form. Judicious selection of appropriate phenolic protecting groups to distinguish positions on the A-ring from the B-ring of the stilbenoid was paramount for the success of this project. Methylation of the C-4' phenolic moiety by removal of the tert- butyldimethylsilyl protecting group in the presence of methyl iodide was accomplished in excellent yield without significant Z to E isomerization. This step (carried out with 12C-methyl iodide as proof of concept in this study) represents the process in which a 14C radioisotope could be incorporated in an actual radiosynthesis. CA1 is a natural product isolated from the African bush willow tree (Combretum caffrum) that has important medicinal value due, in part, to its ability to inhibit tubulin assembly. As a prodrug, CA1P (OXi4503) is in human clinical trials as a vascular disrupting agent.

(E)-3-(β-D-Glucopyranosyloxy)-4',5-dihydroxystilbene (resveratrol 3-β-D-glucoside, piceid), (Z)-2',3'-dihydroxy-3,4,4',5-tetramethoxystilbene (combretastatin A-1), (Z)-3'-hydroxy-3,4,4', 5-tetramethoxystilbene (combretastatin A-4), (Z)-2'-hydroxy-3,4,4',5-tetramethoxystilbene (combretastatin iso-A-4), α,β-dihydro-2',3'-dihydroxy-3,4,4',5-tetramethoxystilbene (combretastatin B-1), the corresponding glucosides, and related compounds have been synthesized via Wittig reactions followed by,glucosylation under phase-transfer catalysis. Most of the compounds synthesized have been tested with respect to biological activity (cytostatic, cytotoxic, antimitotic, neurotoxic, antiplatelet aggregation activity).
