A series of novel podophyllotoxin (PDT) analogues was synthesized in which the lactone moiety was shifted to C ring. Some of the derivatives were also synthesized with modified A ring. Analogues 23 and 25 exhibited potent in vitro cytotoxicity against colon cancer (CaCO2) cell line. p-Demethylated E-ring analogues exhibited better potency than the corresponding methylated analogues. These analogues showed toxicity comparable to PDT against human erythrocytes albeit at much higher concentrations (100 μg/ml) than their cytotoxicity values.
合成了一系列新的
蒽醌类(PDT)类似物,其中内酯部分被移至C环。一些衍
生物的A环也进行了改造。类似物23和25在体外对结肠癌(CaCO2)
细胞系表现出强的细胞毒性。去甲基化的E环类似物的效力优于相应的甲基化类似物。这些类似物对人红细胞的毒性与PDT相当,尽管浓度要高得多(100 μg/ml),才显示出其细胞毒性值。
