Synthesis and activity of oleanolic acid derivatives, a novel class of inhibitors of osteoclast formation
摘要:
Two series of oleanolic acid derivatives were synthesized and their inhibitory activity on the formation of osteoclast-like multinucleated cells (OCLs) induced by 1 alpha,25-dihydroxy vitamin D-3 was evaluated in a co-culture assay system. The structure-activity relationships, together with electronic structure based on the frontier molecular orbitals, for example, HOMO and LUMO, related to different amino acid substituents were studied. Derivatives with proline or phenylalanine showed a tendency to enhance the inhibitory activity. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
