Semisynthetic derivatives were prepared from two natural annonaceous acetogenins, rolliniastatin-1 and squamocin, and their cytotoxicity was evaluated. Amino derivatives show decreased bioactivity. Isorolliniastatin-1 was found to be much less toxic than rolliniastatin-1 after intraperitoneal administration to mice, although the in vitro cytotoxicity of both compounds was comparable.
