Abstract
Triterpenoids comprise a large and structurally diverse class of natural products. Among these, celastrol is one of the most active antitumour compounds. It has been reported to be highly active against a wide variety of tumours and to affect multiple cellular pathways. Therefore, celastrol is an ideal candidate for designing lead compounds for the development of new anticancer agents. In this communication we report the synthesis of novel celastrol derivatives as potent and selective cytotoxic compounds. Celastrol analogues, including carbamate derivatives, were designed and synthesised, and their anticancer activity was evaluated using different human cancer cell lines. Moreover, these new compounds were subjected to a preliminary structure�¢����activity relationship study. The best derivatives were selected considering their best activity on malignant cell viability, combined with the highest selectivity between cancer cells and non-malignant fibroblasts. It was performed preliminary mechanistic studies with the best compound, which indicated a important cytotoxic effect on SKOV-3 human ovarian cancer cells (IC50 = 0.54 ���¼M). Additionally, the results suggested that this compound presented an antiapoptotic activity, mediated mainly through activation of extrinsic apoptotic pathway. Furthermore, our results demonstrated the potential of this derivative as a new agent for combinatorial drug therapy for ovarian cancer.Biography
