Abstract

Pseudolaric Acid B (PAB), a natural product with remarkable anti-tumor activity, is a starting point for new Anticancer therapeutics. We designed and synthesized 27 PAB derivatives and evaluated their anti-proliferative activities against four Cancer cell lines: MCF-7, HCT-116, HepG2, and A549. Compared with unmodified PAB, the PAB derivatives showed stronger anti-proliferative activity. The ability of compound D3 (IC50 = 0.21 μM) to inhibit HCT-116 cells was approximately 5.3 times that of PAB (IC50 = 1.11 μM) and the antiproliferative action was unrelated to cytotoxicity (SI=20.38), indicating its superior safety profile (PAB; SI=0.95). Compound D3 effectively suppressed the EdU-positive rate and reduced colony formation, arrested HCT-116 cells in the S and G2/M phases and induced Apoptosis. In vivo experiments further demonstrated low toxicity of compound D3 while suppressing tumor growth in mice. In summary, given its strong anti-proliferative effect and relative safety, further development of compound D3 is warranted.
