Abstract
Twenty-seven asiatic acid derivatives were designed and synthesized in this paper, including twenty-two new compounds. The synthesized compounds were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS. The antitumor activities of all compounds against A549, Hela and HepG2 cancer cells in vitro were evaluated. Notably, AA-6a (IC50 = 1.10 ± 0.25 μM) has better antitumor activity than gefitinib (IC50 = 83.75 ± 1.72 μM) against A549 cells. AA-6b (IC50 = 2.38 ± 0.36 μM) has better antitumor activity than gefitinib (IC50 = 33.88 ± 1.51 μM) on Hela cells. AA-2b (IC50 = 1.55 ± 0.21 μM) has the better antitumor activity than gefitinib (IC50 = 48.37 ± 1.07 μM) against HepG2 cells.
期刊介绍:
Medicinal Chemistry Research (MCRE) publishes papers on a wide range of topics, favoring research with significant, new, and up-to-date information. Although the journal has a demanding peer review process, MCRE still boasts rapid publication, due in part, to the length of the submissions. The journal publishes significant research on various topics, many of which emphasize the structure-activity relationships of molecular biology.
