Stereoisomers - Trans shown but cis is active.

[edit]

Trans form shown but cis form of Combretastatin A-4 is the cytotoxic one. Can we confirm which isoforms of C' A-1 are found in nature and which are cytotoxic ? - Rod57 (talk) 11:37, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Pettit ref describes C'A1 as a cis-stilbene so I suspect the structure shown is misleading. - Rod57 (talk) 11:47, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
