From betulinic acid (1a), we synthesized 30-oxobetulinic acid (2a) that is highly cytotoxic against many cancer cell lines; however, its generic toxicity is the main obstacle in further development as cytostatic. Methodology & results: From 2a, we prepared a new class of compounds - nonsymmetrical azines and tested their in vitro cytotoxicity. All new azines with a free 28-COOH group (4a-4e) were highly and selectively cytotoxic against the T-lymphoblastic leukemia cell line CCRF-CEM and exhibited dose-dependent inhibition of RNA and DNA synthesis and other cell-cycle alterations, including the M-phase block.
The potential use of azines (4a-4e) in drug development focused on hematological cancers is significantly higher than that of previously studied acids 1a and 2a.
从白桦脂酸(1a)合成了高度细胞毒性的 30-氧代白桦脂酸(2a),对许多癌细胞系具有细胞毒性;然而,作为细胞抑制剂,其普遍的毒性是进一步开发的主要障碍。
从 2a 我们制备了一类新的化合物 - 不对称嗪类化合物,并测试了它们的体外细胞毒性。所有具有游离 28-COOH 基团的新型嗪类化合物(4a-4e)对 T 淋巴细胞白血病细胞系 CCRF-CEM 具有高度和选择性的细胞毒性,并表现出剂量依赖性地抑制 RNA 和 DNA 合成以及其他细胞周期改变,包括 M 期阻滞。
嗪类化合物(4a-4e)在开发针对血液系统癌症的药物方面的潜在用途明显高于以前研究的酸 1a 和 2a。
