Based on the natural antimitotic agent allocolchicine as a lead structure, a series of novel indole-based allocolchicine congeners was synthesized and assessed in vitro for their cytostatic properties. Several compounds exhibited potent anti-proliferative and apoptosis-inducing activity towards lymphoma cells along with low unspecific cytotoxicity. The observed activity is supposed to result from the inhibition of microtubule assembly, as indicated by the tubulin polymerisation assay.
