Selective fatty acylation of maltose was carried out by heating an equimolar mixture of the disaccharide and an appropriate acid chloride in pyridine. The resulting crude product was chromatographed to furnish two preparations, termed maltose-[mono]- and-[high]-esters ; the former preparation was an isomeric mixture of monoesters among which the 1-, 6-, and 6'-isomers were presumably predominant, and the latter consisted of di-, tri-, and poly-esters, as indicated by gas-liquid and thin-layer chromatographies. The antitumor effects of the maltose-[mono]-esters of stearic, palmitic, myristic, lauric, and caprylic acids towards Ehrlich ascites carcinoma in mice were tested by the total packed cell volume method, by intraperitoneal injection. The stearic, palmitic, and myristic esters proved to be effective, while the lauric and caprylic esters exhibited a slight effect and no effect, respectively. The antitumor effect of the maltose-[mono]-stearate upon the same tumor was compared with that of the analogous derivative of sucrose by survival bioassay (intraperitoneal administration) at various doses. Both compounds showed similar antitumor results, giving especially marked effects at the dose of 50 mg/kg/day×5. These two compounds also exerted moderate growth-inhibitory effects against solid sarcoma 180 in mice when they were administered subcutaneously ; in the case of sucrose-[mono]-stearate, intramuscular injection was also effective. The maltose-[high]-esters of stearic, palmitic, and myristic acids failed to exert marked activity upon this solid tumor by either administration route.
通过在吡啶中加热二糖和适当氯化酸的等摩尔混合物,对麦芽糖进行选择性脂肪酰化。前一种制剂是单酯的异构体混合物,其中 1-、6-和 6'-异构体可能占主导地位,而后一种制剂则由二酯、三酯和多酯组成,如气液相色谱法和薄层色谱法所示。硬脂酸、棕榈酸、肉豆蔻酸、月桂酸和辛酸的麦芽糖-[单]酯对小鼠艾氏腹水癌的抗肿瘤作用是通过腹腔注射总包装细胞体积法进行测试的。结果表明,硬脂酸、棕榈酸和肉豆蔻酸酯有效,而月桂酸和辛酸酯分别表现出轻微作用和无作用。通过不同剂量的存活生物测定(腹腔给药),比较了麦芽糖-[单]硬脂酸酯与蔗糖的类似衍生物对同一肿瘤的抗肿瘤作用。这两种化合物的抗肿瘤效果相似,在 50 毫克/千克/天×5 的剂量下效果尤为明显。这两种化合物皮下注射对小鼠实体肉瘤 180 也有中等程度的生长抑制作用;蔗糖-[单]硬脂酸酯肌肉注射也有效。硬脂酸、棕榈酸和肉豆蔻酸的麦芽糖-[高]酯无论通过哪种给药途径都无法对这种实体瘤产生明显的活性。
