Novel NO-releasing derivatives of betulinic acid with antitumor activity
摘要:
Thirteen novel NO-releasing derivatives of betulinic acid (BA) bearing two types of NO-donors (nitrates and furoxans) were synthesized and evaluated for their antitumor activity. The results showed that furoxan-based derivatives exhibited higher antitumor activity than nitrate-based derivatives, with compounds 11a and 11b displaying promising potency against B16 cell lines and HepG2 cell lines (IC50 < 1 mu mol/L). We supposed that NO-releasing amount of these derivatives which can be detected by Griess method may contribute more to their antitumor activity. As a result, furoxan-based derivatives released larger amount of NO than that of nitrate-based derivatives, which partially explained the higher anti-tumor activity of the former.

Seventeen new derivatives of betulinic acid (BA) with potential anti-tumor activity have been synthesized. In order to improve the bioactivity of BA, we connected BA and nitric oxide donors together via different linkers. The results of the biological activity of these derivatives showed that four compounds exhibited obvious cytotoxicity against human hepatocellular carcinoma cells in vitro.
