Abstract

3-Deoxy-3a-homo-3a-aza derivatives of betulin and erythrodiol have been synthesized from betulonic and oleanonic acids. 3-Deoxy-3a-homo-3a-aza-28-hydroxy-12(13)-oleanene showed the highest antineoplastic activity of the broad spectrum in vitro; the results of an extensive examination of the derivative in vitro enable one to recommend it for in vivo tests. The modification of the compound in the position C28 by the introduction of a methoxycinnamoyl fragment led to the loss of the antineoplastic activity. As a whole, 3-deoxy-3a-homo-3a-aza derivatives of betulin [3-(aminopropyl)-, 28-(2-carboxyethyl)carboxy-, and 28-cinamoyloxy-] exhibited a moderate antineoplastic activity toward large intestine cancer, breast cancer, and leukemia cells.
