5-Hydroxymethyl-2-methoxyphenyl adamantane-1-acetate inhibits cell proliferation and stimulates depolymerization of microtubules of cancer cells to free tubulin. Its analogues were synthesized via the Steglich or Mitsunobu reactions to determine the role of structural subunits of the molecule in tubulin binding. Based on the structure–activity relationship studies, metabolically stable 1-[2-(5-hydroxymethyl-2-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]adamantane was invented, which exhibits a dual-target profile and retains in vitro activity observed for the lead compound.
