A series of new 4β-(1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-amino)-podophyllotoxin derivatives were designed and synthesized. Their cytotoxicity in vitro against six tumor cell lines (DU-145, SGC-7901, A549, SH-SY5Y, HepG2 and HeLa) were evaluated by standard MTT assay. The pharmacological results showed that most of the newly synthesized podophyllotoxin derivatives displayed potent cytotoxicity against at least one of the tested tumor cells; and among the new derivatives, 11b was more potent than podophyllotoxin against HepG2 and Hela cell lines. Furthermore, 11b exhibited much better selectivity toward the normal cell lines L929 and Vero than etoposide, 5-Fu and podophyllotoxin. The possible antitumor mechanism of 11b is to inhibit the activity of DNA topoisomerase II, result in the S-phase arrest, and then cause apoptotic cell death.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D011034	Podophyllotoxin	A lignan (LIGNANS) found in PODOPHYLLIN resin from the roots of PODOPHYLLUM plants. It is a potent spindle poison, toxic if taken internally, and has been used as a cathartic. It is very irritating to skin and mucous membranes, has keratolytic actions, has been used to treat warts and keratoses, and may have antineoplastic properties, as do some of its congeners and derivatives.
