The cytotoxic behaviour of 20 sesquiterpene lactones toward Chinese hamster ovary cells was examined. The structural pre-requisite for cytotoxicity was the α-methylene γ-lactone moiety. Certain sesquiterpene lactones caused chromosomal aberrations suggesting that DNA was the cellular target. The cellular target for most of these compounds, however, is probably not the nucleus and the cytotoxicity may be accounted for by Michael-type additions with sulphydryl groups of enzymes and other proteins. |
