Several aromatic ring substituent modified RA derivatives were prepared from RA-VII (I), RA-V (8) and RA-II (II), and evaluated for cytotoxicity against P388 leukemia and KB cells. In terms of IC50 values, the C(ζ) methoxyl group of Tyr-3 greatly influenced the activities, while the substituents at the C(ζ) position of Tyr-6 were less important. One of the derivatives, Tyr-6-C(ζ)-deoxyRA-V (9, P388, IC50, 0.0025μg/ml) was nearly as active as RA-VII (1, 0.0013 μg/ml), and also expressed promising anti- P388 in vivo activity (test/control = 171%, at 25 mg/kg).
