For further structure–activity relationships (SAR) research of furostan saponin, two icogenin analogues: (25R)-22-O-methyl-furost-5-en-3β,26-diol-3-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-d-glucopyranoside 1 and (25R)-22-O-methyl-furost-5-en-3β,26-diol-3-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-α-d-glucopyranoside 2, with valuable disaccharide moieties, were synthesized from diosgenin through eight steps. Both of the analogues behaved the similar cytotoxic activities with icogenin, towards nine types of human tumor cells herein.
Graphical abstractTwo analogues of icogenin with simple disaccharide residues were synthesized in a facile and efficient way. Their cytotoxic activities were studied also.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
