18beta-Glycyrrhetinic acid (GA), 3beta-hydroxyl-11-oxo-olean-12-ene-29-oic acid, has been found to inhibit growth and to induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Through structural modification, 16 GA derivatives (12 novel compounds) with modified structures at the C(3) and C(29) positions were synthesized. The antiproliferative effects and apoptosis induction abilities of these compounds were determined in human leukemia HL-60 cells. The replacement of the hydroxyl group of GA with a carbonyl group or an oxime group at C(3) position does not influence the antiproliferative effect. However, the antiproliferative and apoptosis induction abilities of the compounds with a replaced alkoxyimino group at position C(3) and a free C(29) carboxyl group are markedly increased.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells. (From The Merck Manual, 2006) Leucocythaemia,Leucocythemia,Leucocythaemias,Leucocythemias,Leukemias
D006034 Glycyrrhetinic Acid An oleanolic acid from GLYCYRRHIZA that has some antiallergic, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. It is used topically for allergic or infectious skin inflammation and orally for its aldosterone effects in electrolyte regulation.

D015394 Molecular Structure The location of the atoms, groups or ions relative to one another in a molecule, as well as the number, type and location of covalent bonds. Structure, Molecular,Molecular Structures,Structures, Molecular
D017209 Apoptosis A regulated cell death mechanism characterized by distinctive morphologic changes in the nucleus and cytoplasm, including the endonucleolytic cleavage of genomic DNA, at regularly spaced, internucleosomal sites, i.e., DNA FRAGMENTATION. It is genetically programmed and serves as a balance to mitosis in regulating the size of animal tissues and in mediating pathologic processes associated with tumor growth.

D018922 HL-60 Cells A promyelocytic cell line derived from a patient with ACUTE PROMYELOCYTIC LEUKEMIA. HL-60 cells lack specific markers for LYMPHOID CELLS but express surface receptors for FC FRAGMENTS and COMPLEMENT SYSTEM PROTEINS. They also exhibit phagocytic activity and responsiveness to chemotactic stimuli.
