The synthesis of new ester derivatives of betulin (3a-c) and betulinic acid (4) with conjugated linoleic acid isomers (CLA; in a mixture of 43.4% 9c, 11t; 49.5% 10t, 12c; 7.1% other isomers) is presented. Esterification was carried out with N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) as the coupling agent in the presence of 4-dimethylamino-pyridine (DMAP) in dichloromethane (or pyridine). The in vitro cytotoxic effect of betulin (1), betulinic acid (2), a mixture of CLA isomers and their derivatives (3a-c, 4) was examined using the MTT assay against four cancer cell lines (P388, CEM/C2, CCRF/CEM and HL-60) and the SRB assay on the HT-29 cell line. Ester 4 was the most active among the esters synthesized against the CEM/C2 cell line with an ID50 value 16.9 +/- 6.5 microg/mL. Betulin (1), betulinic acid (2) and CLA were the most active agents against the cancer cell lines studied.
本文介绍了桦木醇(3a - c)和桦木酸(4)与共轭亚油酸异构体(CLA;其中9c,11t异构体占43.4%;10t,12c异构体占49.5%;其他异构体占7.1%)的新型酯衍生物的合成。在二氯甲烷(或吡啶)中,以N,N'-二环己基碳二亚胺(DCC)作为偶联剂,4 - 二甲氨基吡啶(DMAP)存在下进行酯化反应。使用MTT法检测桦木醇(1)、桦木酸(2)、CLA异构体混合物及其衍生物(3a - c,4)对四种癌细胞系(P388、CEM/C2、CCRF/CEM和HL - 60)的体外细胞毒性作用,并使用SRB法检测对HT - 29细胞系的作用。在合成的酯中,酯4对CEM/C2细胞系活性最高,ID50值为16.9±6.5μg/mL。桦木醇(1)、桦木酸(2)和CLA是对所研究癌细胞系活性最高的药物。
