Abstract

A series of novel carbohydrate-modified antitumor compounds were designed based on glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), and evaluated for their Anticancer activities against four Cancer cell lines. The ribose derivatives (compound 9 and 10) exhibited modest inhibitory activity. The compound 9 significantly inhibited the migration of A549 cell and induced A549 cell Apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner. Moreover, compound 9 blocked A549 cells at the G0/G1 phase. The cellular uptake studies suggested that ribose-modified compound 9 could be taken through GLUT1 in A549 cell line.
