Abstract
Colchicine, the main alkaloid of Colchicum autumnale, is one of the most famous natural molecules. Although colchicine belongs to the oldest drugs (in use since 1500 BC), its pharmacological potential as a lead structure is not yet fully exploited. This review is devoted to the synthesis and structure-activity relationships (SAR) of colchicine alkaloids and their analogues with modified A, B, and C rings, as well as hybrid compounds derived from colchicinoids including prodrugs, conjugates, and delivery systems. The systematization of a vast amount of information presented to date will create a paradigm for future studies of colchicinoids for neoplastic and various other diseases.

Abstract
Abstract
Colchicine derivative bearing substituted bispidine moiety, namely N-{7-(3,7-Di-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-1,5-dimethyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-yl)-oxy-7-oxoheptanoyl}-N-deacetylcolchicine, was synthesized and tested for its effect on the net of microtubules (MT) in lung cancer cells A549. The compound induced not only MT depolymerization but stimulated the formation of small tubulin aggregates and long tubulin fibrils localized mainly around nuclei. The assemblies were morphologically different from tubulin clusters induced by structurally related anticancer agent tubuloclustin. The biotests data demonstrate that the depolymerization takes place for both pure tubulin and tubulin in cellulo, while fibrils are formed only in the cells. The research data of structure–activity relationship for several similar colchicine derivatives synthesized in the work give evidence for the proposition that the initial conjugate may interact not only with tubulin and MT in the cells, but also with MT-associated proteins, involved in the process of tubulin polymerization. The ability to affect simultaneously MAP – tubulin interactions opens attractive prospects in the design of novel anticancer agents.

Abstract
C4-Ester derivatives of the anticancer agent podophyllotoxin with bridged moieties can either inhibit polymerization of alpha,beta-tubulin with the formation of microtubules (analogously to the parent molecule) or cause an unusual effect of "curling and shortening" of the microtubules (MT). In order to predict the effect of bridged podophyllotoxin derivatives on the MT network using computer molecular modeling it is desirable to enhance the structural diversity of their bridged substituents. In the present work we synthesized novel podophyllotoxin ester with bicyclo[3.2.1]octane moiety annelated with indole core. The target compound was obtained by Steglich esterification of podophyllotoxin by rac-exo-(indolo[2,3-b])bicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-ene-6-carboxylic acid as diastereomeric (6RS,8SR,9RS) mixture, which could not be separated by thin layer or preparative column chromatography on silica gel. Results of biotesting of 4-O-{(6R,8S,9R)-5,6,7,8,9,10-hexahydro-6,9-methanocyclohepto[b]indol-8-ylcarbonyl}-Lpodophyllotoxin on the carcinoma A549 cells proved its ability to cause full depolymerization of microtubules without curling effect at a concentration 10 μM. Cytotoxicity value of the compound estimated in MTT test was in a high nanomolar concentration interval (EC50=710±30 nM). Computer molecular docking of both isomers of novel compound and earlier synthesized podophyllotoxin esters with bridged moieties into the 3D model of the colchicine domain in alpha,beta-tubulin revealed the difference in positions of the bridge moieties of new compound and MT-curling ligands and allowed to hypothesize that the atypical action on MT might be caused by positioning of their bridge groups near the GTP binding site in alpha-tubulin.
