Nine novel podophyllotoxin five-membered N-heterocyclic derivatives have been prepared from commercially podophyllotoxin. Their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, HR-ESI-MS and X-ray crystallographic analysis. These derivatives have been evaluated in vitro against a panel of human tumor cell lines. Compound 10 (IC50: 2.63~4.73 μmol/L) showed superior cytotoxic activity compared with DDP (a clinically available anticancer drug) in four human tumor cell lines investigation, which is to be a lead compound for further structural modifications and activity research.
