Abstract

Nineteen previously unreported matrine derivatives were synthesized and characterized using elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Target compounds 6a-6l and 7a-7c showed stronger inhibitory activities than matrine in the in vitro antitumor tests and inhibited the growth of the Hep7402, B16-F10, A549, and TW03 cell lines. In addition, compound 6i exhibited a potent antitumor activity similar to that of colchicine.
