Fluorescent vinblastine probes for live cell imaging

Abstract

We describe the synthesis of several fluorescent analogues of the clinically approved microtubule destabilizing agent vinblastine. The evaluated probes are the most potent described and provides the first example of uptake, distribution and live cell imaging of this well known antimitotic agent.
