Xu, Geng published the artcileMitochondria-Targeted Triphenylphosphonium Conjugated C-3 Modified Betulin: Synthesis, Antitumor Properties and Mechanism of Action, Product Details of C9H10O3, the main research area is triphenylphosphonium conjugated betulin apoptosis cell cycle arrest antitumor; antiproliferation; betulin; conjugation; drug discovery; mitochondria; structure-activity relationship; triphenylphosphonium.

A series of mitochondria-targeted triphenylphosphonium conjugated C-3 modified betulin were synthesized and evaluated against tumor cells. As a result, a new derivative 13 i, the conjugate of 3-O-(3′-acetylphenylacetate)-betulin with triphenylphosphonium, was identified as the one with the best anti-tumor effect. Conjugate 13 i significantly inhibited HCT116 cells with IC50 at 0.66 μM. While betulin, C-3 modified betulin, and the triphenylphosphonium moiety showed no inhibition of HCT116 cell proliferation at 20 μM. More importantly, 13 i exhibited a more cytotoxic effect against the tumor cell HCT116 than normal cell NCM460. Mode of action studies demonstrated that 13 i induced the G2/M phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in HCT116 cells through the mitochondrial pathway. Structure-activity relationship anal. revealed that integration of triphenylphosphonium moiety into the C-28 of betulin can greatly improve cytotoxicity. Appropriate modification on C-3 of the conjugate would improve the selectivity.
