Synthetic analogues of durantoside I from Citharexylum spinosum L. and their cytotoxic activity

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2018 May 15;28(9):1558-1561. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2018.03.068. Epub 2018 Mar 27.

Abstract

New iridoid glycoside derivatives from durantoside I, the latter from the dried flowers and leaves of Citharexylum spinosum, were synthesized by variously modifying a sugar moiety by silylation or acetylation and/or removal of cinnamate group at C-7 position and subsequent screening for comparative cytotoxicity against several cancer cell lines. Addition of alkylsilane to durantoside I and removal of cinnamate group were most effective in improving cytotoxicity.

Keywords: Citharexylum spinosum L.; Cytotoxic activity; Durantoside I; Iridoid glycoside.
