Dorota Bartusik et al.
Bioorganic chemistry, 38(1), 1-6 (2009-12-01)
It was shown, that cultured ex vivo human T-Lymphoblastoid (CEM) cells respond to synthesized thiocolchicine and fluorine thiocolchicine derivatives. The preparation of derivatives with substitution at C-3 and C-7 is described. All compounds were used at concentration from 1 nM

Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 161(2), 544-550 (1989-06-15)
Thiocolchicine, a colchicine analog in which the C-10 methoxy is replaced with a thiomethyl moiety, was shown to bind with high affinity to the colchicine site on tubulin (Ka = 1.07 +/- 0.14 x 10(6) M-1 at 23 degrees C).
A Muzaffar et al.
Journal of medicinal chemistry, 33(2), 567-571 (1990-02-01)
Esterification of the phenolic group in 3-demethylthiocolchicine and exchange of the N-acetyl group with other N-acyl groups or a N-carbalkoxy group afforded many compounds which showed superior activity over the parent drug as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization and of the
Bruno Danieli et al.
The Journal of organic chemistry, 71(7), 2848-2853 (2006-03-25)
A dynamic combinatorial library of thiocolchicine-podophyllotoxin derivatives based on the disulfide bond exchange reaction is described. The influence of a biological target on the composition of the reaction mixture has been demonstrated. Use of high-resolution ESI mass spectrometry to evaluate
R De Vincenzo et al.
Oncology research, 11(3), 145-152 (1999-10-20)
Three new 7-0-substituted deacetamidothiocolchicine derivatives have been evaluated for their antitumor activity against various human tumor cell lines, some of which express the multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype, for their impact on the cell cycle and their binding to tubulin. Colchicine
