Tubulins - The Target for Anticancer Therapy

Tubulin has picked up great focus as a major target in drug discovery and consequently, tubulin inhibitors have pulling in a considerable attention as anticancer agents. Numerable naturally occurring agents have focused on tubulin system act as an imperative target of cancer chemotherapy. Substantial number of tubulin inhibitors has been discovered so far and these agents are classified as indicated by their interaction.
