Echinocystic acid (EA), a naturally occurring oleanane-type triterpene isolated from Dipsacus asperoides, was found to have anti-HCV entry activity in our previous study. Expansion of triterpene structural diversity, including the ring A and/or C expansion and opening, was performed. To elucidate the pharmacophore of EA, seven lactones (8, 16, 17, 24, 26, 35 and 41), three 3,28-dioic acids (9, 36 and 42) and two pentols (10 and 27) were synthesized. The anti-HCV entry activities of those derivatives, along with their parental compound EA and analogs α,β-unsaturated ketone (18), were evaluated. All the products showed no improvement but detrimental effect on potency of EA. The results demonstrated that ring A and C of EA are highly conserved, indicating the steric effects of the rigid skeleton have a profound effect on the potency.
刺囊酸(EA)是从川续断中分离得到的一种天然齐墩果烷型三萜,在我们之前的研究中发现其具有抗丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)进入活性。我们进行了三萜结构多样性的扩展,包括A环和/或C环的扩展与开环。为阐明EA的药效团,合成了七种内酯(8、16、17、24、26、35和41)、三种3,28 - 二酸(9、36和42)以及两种戊醇(10和27)。评估了这些衍生物以及它们的母体化合物EA和类似物α,β - 不饱和酮(18)的抗HCV进入活性。所有产物均未显示出活性提高,反而对EA的效力有不利影响。结果表明,EA的A环和C环高度保守,这表明刚性骨架的空间效应对效力有深远影响。
