Abstract
Combretastatin A-4 (CA-4) is one of the most potent antimitotic and antiangiogenic agents of natural origin. It has displayed potent antitumor effect in a wide variety of preclinical tumor models. Till date various CA-4 analogs have been synthesized and evaluated for anticancer activity. This review is an attempt to compile the medicinal chemistry of various synthesized CA-4 analogs.
