Several ring C aromatized analogues of podophyllotoxin were synthesized for testing against human DNA topoisomerase II. The results indicate that aromatization of ring C gave rise to no inhibition of this enzyme at 200 microM. A comparison of the cytotoxicity among these compounds also demonstrates that a free hydroxyl group at C-4 contributes to significant cytotoxicity.
合成了几种鬼臼毒素的C环芳构化类似物,用于测试其对人DNA拓扑异构酶II的作用。结果表明,在200微摩尔浓度下,C环芳构化对该酶没有抑制作用。这些化合物细胞毒性的比较也表明,C-4位的游离羟基对显著的细胞毒性有作用。
