Synthesis of triterpenoid derivatives and their anti-tumor and anti-hepatic fibrosis activities
摘要:
Oleanolic acid (1), ursolic acid (2), hederagenin (3), betulinol (4), betulinic acid (5), and glycyrrhetinic acid (6) are obtained from acorn/licorice industrial wastes with common triterpenoid structure as a model set for esterification. Eight 3,4,5-methoxybenzoyl triterpenoid derivatives (1a-6a), including four new derivatives (1a, 3a-1, 3a-2, and 3a-3), are synthesized by classical procedures. Their antitumor and anti-hepatic fibrosis activities are evaluated on four human tumor cell lines and t-HSC/Cl-6 cells. Derivative 1a shows maximum antiproliferative effects against all cell lines, especially against tumor cells with IC50 values in the range of 5.32-15.23 mu M, but does not affect the viability of normal cells. The anti-tumor mechanisms of 1a are also investigated by western blot and docking studies. The 3,4,5-methoxybenzoyl triterpenoids offers an intriguing solution for naturally derived antitumor drugs and may be invaluable for further development of cancer therapy.

study, 22 new betulinicacid (BA) derivatives were synthesized and tested for their inhibition of the chymotrypsin-like activity of 20S proteasome. From the SAR study, we concluded that the C-3 and C-30 positions are the pharmacophores for increasing the proteasome inhibition effects, and larger lipophilic or aromatic side chains are favored at these positions. Among the BA derivatives tested, compounds

Betulinic acid (I), a pentacyclic triterpene, on derivatization gives six compounds: 3 beta-hydroxylup-20(29)-en-28 oic acid methyl ester (II), 3 beta-acetoxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid (III), 3 beta-allyloxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid (TV), 3 beta-p-methylcinnamatoxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid (V), 3 beta-p-methoxycinnamatoxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid (VI), and 3 beta-tri-O-methylgallotoxylup-20(29)-en-28 acid (VII). Their antifeedent activity against the agricultural pest tobacco caterpillar larvae (Spodoptera litura F) in a no-choice laboratory study showed the active compounds are V, VI, and VII.
