As part of a broad-based SAR investigation of E-resveratrol (strong sirtuin activator and antineoplastic) and the anticancer vascular-targeting combretastatin-type stilbenes, a series of twenty-three β-E-nitrostyrenes was synthesized in order to evaluate potential antineoplastic, antitubulin, and antimicrobial activities. The β-E-nitrostyrenes evaluated ranged from monosubstituted phenols to trimethoxy and 3-methoxy-4,5-methylenedioxy derivatives. Two of the β-nitrostyrenes were synthesized as water-soluble sodium phosphate derivatives (4t, 4v). All except four (4r, 4s, 4t, 4u) of the series significantly inhibited a minipanel of human cancer cell lines. All but eight led to an IC50 of 10 μM for inhibition of tubulin polymerization, and all except three (4l, 4t, 4v) displayed antimicrobial activity.
