Synthesis and Bioactivity of Natural Occurring Petasin-Like Derivatives as Antitumor Agents

摘要

Petasin is a potential antitumor against human neuroblastoma cell SK-N-SH by inhibiting the ERK1/2 phosphorylation. In view of its great activity and new antiproliferative mechanisms, a series of petasin derivatives were designed and synthesized, which showed great antiproliferative activity. Among them compounds 1h and 1f were more effective against SK-N-SH cells than petasin with the IC50 values of 0.87 and 2.63 μM, respectively.
