Abstract
Benzenesulfonate derivatives of naphtho[2,3-b]thiophen-4(9H)-one and 9(10H)-anthracenone were prepared and found to inhibit microtubule formation by an in vitro tubulin polymerization assay. Several analogues showed potent cytotoxic activity in an assay based on K562 leukemia cells with IC50 values of <100 nM. The methylamino analogue 14i was the most active compound in this assay (14i, IC50 K562: 0.05 muM). Antiproliferative activities of selected compounds were additionally evaluated against a panel of 12 tumor cell lines, including multi-drug-resistant phenotypes. All resistant cell lines were sensitive to these compounds. Concentration-dependent flow cytometric studies showed that KB/HeLa cells treated with selected compounds were arrested in the G2/M phases of the cell cycle. In competition experiments, these compounds strongly displaced radiolabeled colchicine from its binding site in the tubulin, showing IC50 values lower than that of colchicine. The results demonstrate that the antiproliferative activity is related to the inhibition of tubulin polymerization.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
