In this article, we describe the preparation and cytotoxic properties of a small focused library of lupane and 18plusmn;-oleanane triterpenoids that contain a combination of two structural motifs known to enhance the biological activities. First, we introduced two fluorine atoms to position 2 of the skeleton. Second, we synthesized a set of hemiester prodrugs, which were intended to increase the solubility and activity. Starting from betulin, we obtained two hydroxyketones (derivatives of dihydrobetulinic acid and allobetulin) and their fluorination using DAST provided 2,2-difluoro-3-oxo-compounds as the main products. Then the 3-oxo group in each derivative was reduced by NaBH4 to obtain 32-hydroxy compounds suitable for modifying by various hemiesters. We prepared 21 compounds, 11 of them new, their cytotoxicity was tested on T lymphoblastic leukemia CCRF-CEM cells first and the most active derivatives were selected for screening on another six tumor and two non-tumor cell lines. All of them showed selectivity against cancer lines with therapeutic index between 2 and 8. All hemiesters had activity in the same range as the free hydroxyl derivatives and they would be suitable prodrugs for future in vivo experiments. Interestingly, all hemiesters of 2,2-difluorodihydrobetulonic acid had higher activity against p53 knock-out p53g'/g' cancer cell line than against the non-mutated analog. In active derivatives, the cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry and several compounds slowed down cell cycle progression through G0/G1 or S-phase.

Paragraph 0077; 0080, (2019/04/14)
The invention discloses a pentacyclic triterpene compound, a preparation method thereof, a pharmaceutical composition and use of the pharmaceutical composition. The structure of the pentacyclic triterpene compound is represented by a general formula I, wherein each substituent in the formula is described in the specification and the claims. The pentacyclic triterpene compound has an effective antagonistic effect to an FXR receptor. Compared with certain existing natural FXR antagonists, the pentacyclic triterpene compound is relatively rich in natural sources, and a synthetic method of the pentacyclic triterpene compound is relatively simple and convenient.

Bio-assay-guided fractionation of the CHCl3-soluble extract from the leaves of Viburnum aboricolum led to the isolation of a novel secobetulinic acid 3,4-lactone, viburolide (=(6β)-4,6-dihydroxy-3,4-secolup-20(29)-ene-3,28-dioic acid 3,4-lacton

Two series of lupane-type triterpenoic acid derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against HIV-1 replication in acutely infected H9 cells, based on the fact that betulinic acid (1) and dihydrobetulinic acid (9) were identified as anti-HIV agents. Among the derivatives, 3-O-(3',3'-dimethylsuccinyl)-betulinic acid (3) and 3-O-(3',3'-dimethylsuccinyl)-dihydrobetulinic acid (11) both demonstrated extremely potent inhibitory activity with EC50 values of -4 μM, and remarkable in vitro therapeutic index (TI) values of 20,000 and 14,000, respectively. 3-O-(3',3'-dimethylglutaryl)-betulinic acid (4) and -dihydrobetulinic acid (12), 3-O-diglycolyl-betulinic acid (5) and -dihydrobetulinic acid (13) and 3-O-glutaryl-betulinic acid (6) were also potent inhibitors of HIV replication with EC50 values ranging from 0.04 to 2.3 x 10-3 μM and TI values from 292 to 2344. In addition, compounds 11 and 12 were also active against HIV replication in a monocyte cell line and in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Our in vitro assay indicated that these compounds are not inhibitors of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase, whereas they inhibited syncytia formation completely in a concentration range of 20-40 μg/mL. However, 3-O-(2',2'-dimethylsuccinyl)-betulinic acid (2) was also found to be an inhibitor of HIV-induced membrane fusion with an IC100 value of 20 μg/mL, though it displayed significantly lower anti-HIV activity than foregoing compounds with an EC50 value of 2.7 μM and TI of 6.7. Further study is underway to determine the mechanisms of action of these compounds.
