Abstract
A series of deoxycholic acid (DCA) derivatives bearing amino acid moiety has been synthesized and investigated for their potential antiproliferative activities. DCA derivative compounds were synthesized by a two or three step synthetic approach. Their bioactivities were evaluated using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method and Western blotting analysis on three tumor cell lines A549 (human lung cancer cell line), MCF-7 (human breast cancer cell line) and HeLa (human cervical carcinoma cell). The novel derivatives DCA3d, DCA5a, DCA5b, DCA5c, and DCA5d were found to be promising antiproliferative agents. Furthermore, DCA5b showed the greatest cytotoxic activity by induction of apoptosis. These compounds show potentiality for further optimization as antitumor drugs.
