Synthesis and cytotoxicity of dihydroartemisinin ethers containing cyanoarylmethyl group
摘要:
A new type of ether of dihydroartemisinin containing cyano and aryl groups was prepared and tested for cytotoxicity to A549, P388, L1210 and HT29 cells using the MTT assay. 12k and 121 were the most cytotoxic compounds. 13 lacking the peroxy group showed a 1000-fold less potency than 121. Similarly, the inactive compound 14 indicated that the position of cyano groups was also important. Flow cytometry data showed that the compounds caused an accumulation of P388 cells in the G(1)-phase of the cell cycle. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
