Abstract
A series of novel betulin derivatives containing hydrazide-hydrazone moieties were synthesized. All compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against four human carcinoma cell lines (HepG2, A549, MCF-7 and HCT-116) and a normal human gastric epithelial cell line (GES-1). Among them, compound 6i was the most potent against HepG2 and MCF-7 cell lines, with IC50 values of 9.27 and 8.87 μM, respectively. The results suggest that the incorporation of a hydrazide-hydrazone side chain at the C-28 position of betulin is beneficial for compounds to display significant cytotoxicity. Compound 6i may be used as a promising skeleton for antitumor agents with improved efficacy.
