Abstract

A series of pentacyclic triterpenoids derivatives bearing O-[4-(1-piperazinyl)-4-oxo-butyryl moiety has been synthesized and investigated for their potential antiproliferative activities. Pentacyclic triterpenoids derivative compounds were synthesized by a four or six step synthetic procedure. The activity studies were evaluated using Cell Counting Kit-8 method, and Western blotting analysis on A549 cells, MCF-7 cells and Hela cells. Compounds methyl 3-O-[4-(1-piperazinyl)-4-oxo-butyryl]olean-12-ene-28-oate (OA-4) and compound 2-O-[4-(1-piperazinyl)-4-oxo-butyryl]-3,23-dihydroxyurs-12-ene-28-oate (AA-5) were found to be promising antiproliferative agents. These compounds show potentiality for further optimization as antitumor drugs.
