Abstract

Based on the combination principle, twelve novel oleanolic acid and ursolic acid derivatives were designed and synthesized through introduction of piperazine, N-methyl piperazine and morpholine moiety in C-28 position. Structures of all target compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS. Their in vitro anticancer activities towards MCF-7, Hela and A549 cell lines were evaluated by a 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. The results indicate that OA-4, OA-7, OA-8a, OA-8b, UA-4, UA-7, UA-8a and UA-8b against MCF-7, Hela and A549 cells are obviously better than OA and UA, OA-4, OA-7, UA-4 and UA-7 are equally as well the IC50 of positive control gefitinib.
