The present invention relates to a computer-assisted method of a designing of a tubulin inhibitor comprising: a) determining an interaction between a tubulin protein and a chemical known to bind the tubulin protein by evaluating a binding of the tubulin protein to the chemical known to bind the tubulin protein; b) based on the interaction, designing a candidate tubulin inhibitor; c) determining an interaction between the tubulin protein and the candidate tubulin inhibitor by evaluating a binding of the tubulin protein to the candidate tubulin inhibitor; and d) concluding that the candidate tubulin inhibitor inhibits the tubulin protein wherein the conclusion is based on the interaction of step c). The invention also provides compositions and methods of treatment of diseases with the candidate tubulin inhibitors.
