We here report the synthesis and biological evaluation of several combretastatin A-4 derivatives alkylated at the phenol hydroxyl group. Some of these derivatives contain an (E)-arylalkene fragment reminiscent of that present in some natural stilbenes like resveratrol. The cytotoxicities towards one human healthy kidney embryonic and two tumoral cell lines were determined. In addition, the ability of these compounds to inhibit the production of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was measured. Finally, the expression of genes controlling the production of telomerase was measured. Some of the compounds were found to have an activity comparable or higher than that of combretastatin A-4 in at least one of the aforementioned biological properties. The compounds with the (E)-arylalkene fragment were in general terms more active than the simple O-alkyl derivatives. However, no clear structure/activity correlations were perceived when comparing the observed compound activities across the three biological properties. This points out the existence of marked differences between the mechanisms responsible for their cytotoxicity.
