Synthesis of oleanolic disaccharide derivatives

Oleanolic acid 1 exists widely in food,medicinal herbs and other plants and possesses many attractive biological activities. Recently,some oleanolic derivatives were reported to have interesting anti-tumor activities.Herein,using association principle of drug design,OA disaccharide 17 was designed and synthesized by coupling a-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-a-L-arabinopyranosyl disaccharide moiety,which has proved to be a unique sugar sequence with strongly antitumor activity,and modified OA with a nitrile at C-17.     

Hepatoprotective and hepatotoxic actions of oleanolic acid-type triterpenoidal glucuronides on rat primary hepatocyte cultures

The protective effects of oleanolic acid-type saponins and their derivatives on in vitro immunological liver injury of primary cultured rat hepatocytes were studied. A known antihepatotoxic saponin (chikusetsusaponin IVa, 1) showed hepatoprotective activity in this model. Although a rhamnosyl derivative (2) of 1 similarly showed hepatoprotective activity, its prosapogenin (5) did not show any hepatoprotective activity. On the contrary, 5 exhibited cytotoxicity toward liver cells. In the absence of antiserum, monodesmosyl saponins showed hepatotoxicity, while the bisdesmosyl saponins except for 1, did not show such hepatotoxicity. In order to clarify the effects of the sugar residues at C-3 and C-28 responsible for hepatoprotective and hepatotoxic actions, oleanolic acid 3-O-glucuronide (2a) and oleanolic acid 28-O-glucoside (2b) were prepared and tested. 2b showed neither hepatoprotective action nor hepatotoxicity. In contrast, 2a was effective at 90 microM on hepatoprotection, although it showed strong hepatotoxicity. Oleanolic acid (2c) itself showed both hepatoprotective action and weak hepatotoxicity. Therefore, the hepatoprotective activity of these types of saponins could represent a balance between hepatoprotective action and hepatotoxicity.     

Antitumor activity of Pulsatilla koreana saponins and their structure-activity relationship

Seventeen saponins isolated from the root of Pulsatilla koreana were examined for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against the human solid cancer cell lines, A-549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, and HCT15, using the SRB assay method, and their in vivo antitumor activity using BDF1 mice bearing Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC). The saponins 5-17, with a free acidic functional group at C-28 of aglycon, exhibited moderate to considerable cytotoxic activity, however, the saponins 1-4, esterified with a trisaccharide at C-28 of aglycon, did not exhibit cytotoxic activity (ED50; >300 microM). Among them, oleanolic acid 3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)]-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (10) exhibited the most potent cytotoxic activity (ED50; 2.56, 2.31, 1.57, 8.36 microM, respectively). In vivo test, hederagenin 3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)]-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (6, Inhibition Ratio, IR; 66.9%) exhibited more potent antitumor activity than taxol (IR; 35.8%) and doxorubicin (IR; 62.1%). Also, hedragenin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (17, IR; 50.3%) exhibited potent antitumor activity. These two saponins were identically comprised of a hederagenin aglycon moiety and a sugar sequence O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside at C-3 of the hederagenin, suggesting that the two elements are essential factors for the antitumor activity.     

Synthesis of 4‐Heteroaryl–Quinazoline Derivatives as Potential Anti‐breast Cancer Agents

The new compounds were tested for their dual enzyme inhibition as well as their cytotoxic activity on MCF7 cell line. The results indicated that almost all the compounds showed moderate dual inhibition of both enzymes. Compound 3 (methyl piperidine‐4‐carboxylate derivative) showed the highest inhibitory activity against both enzymes with IC₅₀ 97.6 and 64.0 µM against EGFR and VEGFR‐2 kinases, respectively. Most of the test compounds showed potent to moderate antitumor activity on MCF7 cell line. Five compounds ( 3 , 9c , 11 , 13 , and 15b ) showed potent cytotoxic activity with IC₅₀ values between 10 and 17 µM .     

Anticancer effect of A-ring or/and C-ring modified oleanolic acid derivatives on KB, MCF-7 and HeLa cell lines

The obtained new compounds were tested for cytotoxic activity on KB, MCF-7 and HeLa cell lines. The derivatives had acetoxy, oxo or hydroxyimino function at the C-3 position and in some cases oxo, hydroxyimino or acyloxyimino group at the C-12 position. Almost all of the compounds showed strong cytotoxic activity, higher than unchanged oleanolic acid. The most active substances turned out to be the derivatives with acyloxyimino function, especially 4 and 8d.     

Novel Aryl‐Modified Benzoylamino‐N‐(5,6‐dimethoxy‐1H‐benzoimidazol‐2‐yl)‐heteroamides as Potent Inhibitors of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptors 1 and 2

Tumor angiogenesis has become an important target for antitumor therapy, with most current therapies aimed at blocking the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway. The VEGF and its receptors have been implicated as key factors in tumor angiogenesis and are major targets in cancer therapy. A series of aryl‐modified benzoylamino‐N‐(5,6‐dimethoxy‐1H‐benzoimidazol‐2‐yl)‐heteroamides were synthesized from 2‐amino‐5,6‐dimethoxy benzimidazole and aryl‐substituted benzoylamino hetero acids. The new compounds were tested for inhibition of VEGF receptors I and II (VEGFR‐1 and VEGFR‐2). Compound 6e displayed VEGFR‐2 inhibitory activity with a 50% inhibition concentration value as low as 0.020 μM in a homogeneous time‐resolved fluorescence enzymatic assay. VEGFR‐2 active compounds display good activity against VEGFR‐1 as well.
