Abstract
Colchicine neoglycosides, method for their synthesis and methods for their use are disclosed. The invention provides analogs of colchicine glycosylated to include a sugar moiety on a colchicine scaffold that is generally unglycosylated in nature. The colchicine neoglycosides disclosed herein are shown to have cytotoxic effects equivalent to at least the known cytotoxins paclitaxel and doxorubicin. Further, the neoglycosides disclosed according to the invention have physiologic effects not previously recognized in the alkaloid family that includes colchicine but recognized in other cytotoxic drug families such as the taxanes which act by stabilizing tubulin formation.
