Synthesis, modification, and antimicrobial activity of the N-methylpiperazinyl amides of triterpenic acids

N-methylpyperazinyl amides of betulinic, platanic, glycyrrhetic, oleanolic, ursolic, and moronic acids were synthesized and modified. Betulin and betulonic acid showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus at a concentration of 90 mg/ml, and betulin manifested a bacteriostatic effect against Klebsiella pneumoniae at a concentration of 60 mg/ml. Among the studied N-methylpyperazinyl amides, the highest activity against S. aureus was observed for a betulonic acid derivative.

Synthesis and cytotoxicity of triterpene seven-membered cyclic amines

Abstract3-Deoxy-3a-homo-3a-aza derivatives of betulin and erythrodiol have been synthesized from betulonic and oleanonic acids. 3-Deoxy-3a-homo-3a-aza-28-hydroxy-12(13)-oleanene showed the highest antineoplastic activity of the broad spectrum in vitro; the results of an extensive examination of the derivative in vitro enable one to recommend it for in vivo tests. The modification of the compound in the position C28 by the introduction of a methoxycinnamoyl fragment led to the loss of the antineoplastic activity. As a whole, 3-deoxy-3a-homo-3a-aza derivatives of betulin [3-(aminopropyl)-, 28-(2-carboxyethyl)carboxy-, and 28-cinamoyloxy-] exhibited a moderate antineoplastic activity toward large intestine cancer, breast cancer, and leukemia cells.

Synthesis and antitumor activity of aminopropoxy derivatives of betulin, erythrodiol, and uvaol

Aminopropoxy derivatives of betulin, erythrodiol, uvaol, and oleantriol have been synthesized by the cyanoethylation of the hydroxyl groups of triterpenoids with the subsequent reduction of cyanoethyl fragments. It has been found that 3β,28-di-O-[3-(aminopropoxy)]lupa-20(29)-ene and 3β-O-hydroxy-28-O-[3-(aminopropoxy)]olean-12-ene possess high in vitro antitumor activity toward a wide range of human tumor cell lines. It has been shown that the aminopropoxy fragment is a novel promising pharmacophore group in the synthesis of anticancer agents based on triterpenoids.

Synthesis of a-secomethylenamino- and substituted amidoximotriterpenoids

Development of the functionalization of triterpenoids to A-secoamidoximes, A-secomethylenamines, and branched 3-(3-aminopropylamino)-3-(3-aminopropoxy)amidoximes is illustrated by the betulonic acid ketoxime. An effective way to get of the derivatives of 20,29-dihydrolupanes using diborane is suggested. The antiviral and antituberculosis activity data of some compounds are presented.

Synthesis of aminopropylamino derivatives of betulinic and oleanolic acids

Triterpenoids with the following amine fragments in C3 and C28 positions were synthesized on the basis of betulinic and oleanolic acids: (3-aminopropoxy)-, 3-acetyl-(3-aminopropyl)amino-, 6-[bis(3-aminopropyl)amino]hexylamino-, and (3-aminopropyl)-4-aminophenylsulfonyl-4-phenylamino. Amide of betulonic acid with 4,4′-diaminodiphenylsulfonic substituent was shown to exhibit no antitumor effect, but to have a pronounced anti-inflammatory activity.

Synthesis and modification of triterpenoids with two lupan backbones

The first derivatives containing two lupan backbones were synthesized by the interaction of betulonic acid chloride with diols (ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol) and monoethanolamine. A modification of ring A of ethylene-1,2-bis(betulonnate) led to its bis(3β-aminopropyloxy) and bis(3,4-seco-2-cyano) derivatives.

Effective synthesis of methyl 3β-amino-3-deoxybetulinate

A practical method for preparing methyl 3β-amino-3-dexoybetulinate that is based on column chromatographic separation of 3α- and 3β-t-butoxycarbonates and subsequent removal of the protecting group using formic acid is proposed. The structure of methyl 3β-N-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-3-deoxybetulinate was established by an x-ray structure analysis.

Synthesis and pharmacological activity of 20-keto-29-norlupane derivatives

New 20-oxo- and hydroxyimino-derivatives of betulin that exhibit immunotropic and antiviral activities were synthesized.

Synthesis of the lupinine ester of betulonic acid

The lupinine ester and 3-oxime of betulonic acid were prepared for the first time.

Synthesis of 3-deoxy-3β-(3-aminopropoxyamino) derivatives of oleanolic and ursolic acids

3-Deoxy-3β-(3-aminopropoxyamino) derivatives of oleanolic and ursolic acids were synthesized. 3-Deoxy3-(2-cyanoethoxyimino)urs-12-en-28-oic acid was active in vitro with selectivity index SI 30 against papilloma virus (strain HPV-11).
