Abstract: Objective :To determine the structural features of a set of diverse colchicines-site inhibitors. Methods :The features were revealed by matching the binding conformations generated from docking studies of eight inhibitors,and combined with the available SAR results. Results : The feature is represented as two hydrophobic groups(A and B) and a bridge linked between them,but A and B should be in the same side of the bridge.The volume size and the existence of hydrogen-bond acceptor of group A may have some influence on binding.Group B should be a hydrophobic planar ring,and polar functional group is advantageous.The bridge part could accept 1-4 atoms,but the Sp2 hybrid is welcome. Conclusion :this result may provide useful insights for the design of novel Colchicine-site inhibitors.
