Popis: A series of novel methyl spongoate (1) analogs has been synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic properties. It was found that the nature of the C-20 side chain had significant effects on their bioactivities and some analogs showed higher cytotoxicity than 1 against A549, HCT-116, HepG2, SW-1990, MCF-7 and NCI-H460 tumor cell lines. The pharmacological results confirmed that the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl moiety, a Michael acceptor in ring A, plays a pivotal role in the cytotoxic effect of these derivatives. The compiled pharmacological data may be useful for the design of novel analogous anticancer drugs.
