A series of chloro-substituted-20-hydroxychalcones were prepared and evaluated for their cytotoxic effects against K562 and SK-N-MC human cancer cell lines and as the inhibitors of tubulin polymerization. The 3,50-dichloro- analogue (compound 3) inhibited the assembly of protofilaments with 89% inhibition. Compound 3 was found to be bound to tubulin with a dissociation constant of 3.7 lM and altered far-UV circular dichroism spectrum of tubulin and altered far-UV circular dichroism spectrum of tubulin.
