Combretastatin B-1 is a combretastatin and a dihydrostilbenoid. It can be found in Combretum caffrum, the Eastern Cape South African bushwillow tree[1] or in Combretum kraussii, the forest bushwillow.[2]
It can be produced by selective hydrogenation of Combretastatin A-1.[1]
It is a potent inhibitor of microtubule assembly in vitro.[1]
