Asymmetric synthesis of phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids with hydroxyl group at the C14 position and evaluation of their antitumor activities
摘要:
The asymmetric total synthesis of the strongly cytotoxic phenanthroindolizidine alkaloid 3 was achieved. Using the same route, various derivatives were also synthesized. Cytotoxicity of those synthetic compounds was evaluated and compounds 19, 23, and 27 demonstrated potent cytotoxicities similar to that of 3. The in vivo antitumor efficacy of selected compounds was also evaluated and 23 demonstrated moderate antitumor efficacy. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
