SYNTHESIS AND CYTOTOXICITY OF 28-OXO-ALLOBETULONE DERIVATIVES
E. F. Khusnutdinova, I. E. Smirnova, and O. B. Kazakova*
28-Oxo-allobetulone derivatives that were newly synthesized or prepared earlier by modification of ring A (3- and 4-pyridylidene, furfurylidene, azepane, lactam, quinolone, spiroindole, pyrazole, isoxazole, and tetraoxane derivatives) and 3β,19β,28-oleantriol were tested in vitro for cytotoxicity against 60 cell lines of 9 human tumor types. Melanoma SK-MEL-5 and CNS SNB-75 cancer cells died in the presence of 3- or 4-pyridylidene derivatives of 28-oxo-allobetulone. 3β,19β,28-Oleantriol possessed selective cytotoxicity against CNS cancer cell line SNB-75. Keywords: triterpenoids, betulin, allobetulin, 28-oxo-allobetulone, synthesis, cytotoxicity. Allobetulin and its 28-oxo-allobetulone derivative (1) are germanicane triterpenoids, a rather rare class of natural compounds [1, 2]. Compound 1 was synthesized from betulin via a Wagner–Meerwein rearrangement in the presence of various acids [3–6]. Triterpenoids with a 19β,28-epoxy-18α-oleanane skeleton include compounds with antiulcer [7], antiviral [8–10], anti-inflammatory [7], and immunoregulatory activity [11]. Butenyl esters of 2,3-seco-2,3-di- and 3,4-seco-4(23)-en3-monoacids of allobetulin inhibited acetylcholinesterase [12]. Until recently, 19β,28-epoxy-18α-oleananes were not considered valuable agents with anticancer activity [13–16]. However, 2-aminoallobetulin was shown to possess high blocking activity for cancer cells in the cell cycle S phase and upon transitioning to the G2/M phase. It also inhibited effectively DNA and RNA synthesis at concentrations of 4.6 and 5.0 μM [17]. Modification of the triterpene skeleton 2-position was a promising direction for discovering new antitumor agents [18, 19]. A series of 28-oxo-allobetulones were synthesized by us to gather new data on the structure–activity relationship of this type of triterpenoids. Their cytotoxic activity was studied in vitro against tumor cells. 29 30
