Abstract
4β-Hydroxywithanolide E, which can be obtained in large amounts from the Physalis genus, possessed anti-proliferative effects on a variety of human cancer cell lines. For discussing its anti-tumor structure-activity relationship, a series of 4β-hydroxywithanolide E derivatives (1–17) were synthesized and evaluated for their antitumor activity in vitro towards acute promyelocytic leukemia NB4 cell line by the Alarma blue assay. Cytotoxicity data revealed that the enone structure and C-4 hydroxyl substituents of ring A, together with the side chain (C-20–C-28) play an important effect on the cytotoxicity.
