Abstract

Colchicine binding site inhibitors (CBSIs) have attracted much attention due to their antitumor efficacies and the advantages of inhibiting angiogenesis and overcoming multidrug resistance. However, no CBSI has been currently approved for Cancer treatment due to the insufficient efficacies, serious toxicities and poor pharmacokinetic properties. Design of dual-target inhibitors is becoming a potential strategy for Cancer treatment to improve Anticancer efficacy, decrease adverse events and overcome drug resistance. Therefore, we reviewed dual-target inhibitors of colchicine binding site (CBS), summarized the design strategies and the biological activities of these dual-target inhibitors, expecting to provide inspiration for developing novel dual inhibitors based on CBS.
