Highly cytotoxic 1,5-diaryl-1H-imidazoles were studied to clarify the relationship between cytotoxicity and activity as vascular disrupting agents (VDA). All the compounds disorganized the tubulin cytoskeleton, affected endothelial cell morphology and capillary formation in vitro, and caused vessel shutdown and tumor necrosis in vivo, thus confirming their vascular disrupting properties. Nonetheless, the substitution patterns oil the imidazole ring, responsible for greater interaction energy with tubulin and higher cytotoxicity, were not associated to greater vascular disrupting activity.
