Simple structural modifications confer cytotoxicity to allobetulin
摘要:
A variety of allobetulin derivatives was synthesized from allobetulin or allobetulone. These compounds were screened for their cytotoxic activity using a photometric SRB assay employing six different human tumor cell lines. In summary, opening of ring A of allobetulin in general lowers the cytotoxicity, but the 2,3-seco diethyl ester was highly cytotoxic and remarkable selective for A549 lung carcinoma cells while being significantly less cytotoxic for non-malignant mouse fibroblasts. The introduction of an amino group at position C-3 in the allobetulin skeleton enhances cytotoxicity and furnishes highly cytotoxic compounds. Their selectivity to distinguish between cancer cell and non-malignant cell depends on the configuration at position C-3. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

2-Nitro-derivatives of allobetulone were prepared by reaction of allobetulin with nitric acid. 2β-Aminoallobetulin was synthesized by reduction of 2-nitrobetulone with LiAlH4. The corresponding allobetulin seco-derivatives were obtained via oxidation by H2O2 in the presence of K2CO3 of 2-nitroallobetulone and cleavage of 2,2-dinitroallobetulone by K2CO3 in H2O:THF.

Allobetulin derived seco-oleananedicarboxylates act as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase
Ring opening of allobetulone gave either seco-acid 8 or di-acid 4. These acids were converted into esters that were screened by Ellman's assay. A dibutenylester of low cytotoxicity (NIH 3T3 murine embryonic fibroblasts) was shown to be a good mixed-type inhibitor (K-i = 3.39, K-i' = 2.26 mu M) for acetylcholinesterase. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Lupane and 18α-oleanane derivatives substituted in the position 2, their cytotoxicity and influence on cancer cells
substituted in the position 2. From betulin, we obtained 2-bromo dihydrobetulonic acid and 2-bromo allobetulon and their substitutions yielded derivatives with various substituents in the position 2 such as amines, amides, thiols, and thioethers. Nitration of allobetulon and dihydrobetulonic acid gave 2-nitro and 2,2-dinitro derivatives. Fifteen derivatives had IC50 < 50 μM on a chemosensitive CCRF-CEM (acute
