Abstract:
Aim: To synthesize the
ent-kaurene diterpenoid and its derivatives from natural available stevioside.
Methods: The crucial pharmacophore of
exo-methylene ketone was designed and the carboxyl group at C-4 was modifiedThe cytotoxic inhibition activities
in vitro of target compounds were evaluated against human cancer cells BEL-7402,HO-8910,MCF-7 and HL-60 by a MTT method.
Results and Conclusion: The structures of new target compounds were identified by
1H NMR,FT-IR and EI-MS. The preliminary experimental results showed that some derivatives of
ent-kaurene diterpenoid possessed fair inhibitory activity against tumor cell lines compared with that of their parent steviol.
