ABSTRACT
Objective To search for novel potent 3-ester derivatives of arenobufagin and test their antitumor activities in vitro. Methods Target compounds were synthesized by esterification of arenobufagin with acids. CellTiter method was used to assay the in vitro antitumor activities. Results 3-Ester derivatives exhibited excellent antitumor activities against all the cancer cells. Conclusion Among the 3-ester derivatives, compound 2a had the best activities with the IC50 of 4.0−91.7 nmol/L and appeared to be a valuable candidate for further study.
