2-O-(2-chlorobenzoyl) maslinic acid triggers apoptosis in A2780 human ovarian carcinoma cells
摘要:
Depending on the conditions of the reactions, maslinic acid can be converted into the corresponding 2-O-, 3-O-, or 2,3-di-O-acylated compounds in good yields. These compounds showed in SRB assays a significantly increased cytotoxicity as compared to the parent compound maslinic acid. For the most active compound of this series, i.e. 2-O-(2-chlorobenzoyl) maslinic acid (5), more detailed cell biological tests (i.e. AO/PI dye exclusion experiments, an annexin V assay, and microscopic investigations) on A2780 (human ovarian carcinoma cells) revealed that this compound triggers apoptosis.
