A novel synthetic microtubule inhibitor, MPT0B214 exhibits antitumor activity in human tumor cells through mitochondria-dependent intrinsic pathway.

Agents that interfere with mitotic progression by disturbing microtubule dynamics are commonly used for cancer treatment. Previously, a series of aroylquinolone regioisomers as novel microtubule inhibitors were discovered. One of these new compounds, MPT0B214 inhibited tubulin polymerization through...
