Synthesis and antimycobacterial evaluation of natural oridonin and its enmein-type derivatives
摘要:
A series of enmein-type derivatives were synthesized and assayed for their antimycobacterial effects. The structures of the synthesized compounds were established by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR and mass spectral analysis. All the compounds were screened for their antimycobacterial properties against Mycobacterium phlei, Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium marinum. Compounds 2, 6g and 6i were found to exhibit potent antimycobacterial activity against M. phlei at a concentration of 0.5 mu g/mL, which was comparable to that of positive drug streptomycin. Furthermore, five compounds were tested against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H(37)Rv based on the promising preliminary screening results. Among them, compound 10 showed potent activity with IC50 value of I 7.1 mu g/mL against M. tuberculosis H37Rv strain. Thus, compound 10 could emerge as a promising lead for further research work.

A series of enmein-type diterpenoid analogs (11–20) derived from natural kaurene-type diterpenoid oridonin were synthesized and biologicallyevaluated. All target compounds showed improved anti-proliferative activities against four human cancer cell lines compared with natural oridonin and parent compound 10. Some compounds were more potent than positive control Taxol. Furthermore, mechanistic investigation
