Abstract
Certain chalcone derivatives are reported to inhibit the polymerization of tubulin to form microtubules and are therefore antimitotic agents which can be used as antigout agents. The chalcone derivatives are also reported to inhibit the destruction of the myelin sheath in the central nervous system of multiple sclerosis patients and are thus useful in controlling the progressive nature of the disease.
