Background  Tubulysins family is a kind of natural compound with potent, antitumor activity. To simplify the synthesis route and find new antitumor compounds is becoming a hotspot of research recent years.    Results  Starting from 3-nitrobenzoic acid, after 7 steps transformations, 12 new tubulysin analogues were synthesized by the conformational restraint and bioisostere principle. These structures are featuring 3-substituted analine moieties. All these compounds are new compounds, and the structures were characterized by  1 H NMR,  13 C NMR, and HRMS. The antitumor activities were screened by the MTT method using MDA-MB-231and MCF7 cells.    Conclusions  Compound  IIb  exhibited certain antitumor activity with the IC 50  value of 7.6 and 11.8 µM against MDA-MB-231 and MCF7 cells respectively. Compounds  IIa – IIe  had moderate antitumor activities suggested that the thiazole ring in the Tuv could be replaced by the phenyl ring. However, Compounds  Ia – Ie  lose antitumor activity dramatically suggested that the conformation of the Tuv was crucial for the tubulysin analogues to maintain the biological activity.
