Abstract
Abstract:
Over the past 55 years of research, various experimental methods have been developed for the total synthesis
of the anticancer camptothecin, a potent antitumor antibiotic, and its numerous active derivatives. The discoveries
made in synthetic pathways of the camptothecin heterocyclic core have contributed significantly to the theory and
strategy of directed organic synthesis aimed at finding effective anticancer drugs. The synthetic, medicinal chemistry
of camptothecin, the development of structures of anticancer camptothecin analogues, and the mechanism of their
activity in inhibiting the growth of different types of cancers, such as lung, ovarian, breast, pancreas, and stomach
cancers are analyzed. Various structural modifications in the A, B, C, D, and E-rings of the camptothecin molecule
have been thoroughly studied to improve bioavailability and diminish toxicity. Modern synthetic approaches to the
camptothecin analogues and several semi-synthetic methods are reviewed.
