Combretastatin A-1 is a combretastatin, a chemical compound belonging to stilbenoid class. It can be found in Combretum caffrum, the Eastern Cape South African Bushwillow tree.[1]

It is an antiangiogenic agent acting by destabilizing tubulin, which induces cell apoptosis of proliferating endothelial cells.[1]
