چکیده
Four known ginsenosides: ginsenoside-Rb1 (1), Rb3 (2), Rd (3) and Re (4) were isolated from the methanolic extract of the traditional Chinese medicine Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer. Further enzyme reactions and chemical modifications led us to obtain ginsenoside-M1 (5) and synthesize three novel mono-esters of ginsenoside-M1, ginsenoside-DM1 (6), PM1 (7) and SM1 (8) 30 - 50% of yield via a facile and green synthetic strategy. The structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive 1D- and 2DNMR, as well as high resolution ESI-TOF mass spectroscopic analyses. The isolated and synthetic compounds were tested in an anti-tumor bioassay, and compounds 5-8 showed considerable cytotoxicity (SRB) against several human cancer cell lines (breast cancer MCF-7, skin melanoma SK-MEL-2 and human ovarian carcinoma B16), but moderate effects on lung carcinoma COR-L23. The other ginsenosides showed no effects.

Protopanaxatriol saponins obtained with AB-8 macroporous resin mainly consisted of ginsenosides Rg(1) and Re. A novel mono-ester of ginsenoside-Rh(1) (ginsenoside-ORh(1)) was synthesized through further enzymatic hydrolysis and octanoyl chloride modifications. A 53% yield was obtained by a facile synthetic method. The structures were identified on the basis of 1D-NMR and 2D-NMR, as well as ESI-...
متن کاملSynthesis and Biological Evaluation of 2-Phenyl Benzothiazole Derivatives as Cytotoxic Agents
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Many heterocyclic cores are present in the structures of clinically approved anticancer drugs. Meanwhile, benzothiazoles have been reported as one of the most important heterocyclic scaffolds in previously reported anticancer agents in the literature. Therefore, in this report, a novel series of 2-phenyl benzothiazole derivatives was synthesized, bi...
