A composition and method of preventing or inhibiting tumor growth and, more particularly, of treating a malignant tumor, using prodrugs of plant-derived compounds and derivatives is disclosed. In the method, a composition containing betulinic acid or a betulinic acid derivative is administered in a prodrug form to release betulinic acid or a betulinic acid derivative in vivo at the tumor site.

Chemical modifications were performed on C-20 position of betulinic acid for a structure-activity relationship study. The evaluation of the compounds using human colon carcinoma HCT-116, human prostate adenocarcinoma PC3, and human melanoma cell lines M14-MEL, SK-MEL-2, and UACC-257 did not show any selective cytotoxicity towards melanoma cells. The results from both MTT reduction assay and SRB staining assay were comparable that no remarkable differences in cytotoxicity profile of the compounds were noticed. The C-20 position was found to be sensitive to the size and the electron density of the substituents in retaining the cytotoxicity of betulinic acid and was found to be undesirable position to derivatize.

Allylic Hydroxylation Through Acid Catalysed Epoxy Ring Opening of Betulinic Acid Derivatives
Acid catalysed epoxy ring opening of several lupane type triterpenoids leads to unusual allylic hydroxylation. The reaction involves the formation of epoxide by m-chloroperbenzoic acid followed by the treatment of mineral acid. The simple methodology finds utility to introduce a hydroxyl function at the allylic position in these triterpenoids, which is otherwise quite difficult.
