Synthesis, characterization and biological studies of diosgenyl analogues
摘要:
A series of optical amino acid diosgenyl esters and diosgenyl salicylate conjugates were designed and synthesized to develop new anticancer and anti-inflammatory agents. The analogue 9c that contains an 6-aminohexanoic acid residue at C-3 of diosgenin exhibits higher potency against all three tumor cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 4.7 mu M in C26 cells to 14.6 mu M in Hep G2 cells. In addition, seven of newly synthesized compounds significantly inhibit xylene-induced ear edema and exhibit comparable or better anti-inflammatory activities than those of diosgenin and aspirin. Furthermore, preliminary structure-activity relationship studies demonstrate that diosgenyl salicylate conjugates have stronger anti-inflammatory activities than amino acid diosgenyl esters.
