Title: Antileukemic activity of aminoparthenolide analogs.

Authors: Nasim S, Crooks PA.

Abstract: A series of aminoparthenolide analogs have been synthesized through a diastereoselective conjugate addition of several primary and secondary amines to the alpha-methylene-gamma-butyrolactone function of the very lipophilic sesquiterpene lactone, parthenolide. Seventeen of the above amines derivatives were evaluated in a full panel of 60 cancer cell lines for anticancer activity. Compound 12, derived from tyramine, was found to be cytostatic as well as cytotoxic toward acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells (ALL, CCRF-CEM) at nanomolar concentrations, while the (R)-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl)amino derivative 9 was found to be cytostatic toward human anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma (SR) cells at concentrations below 10 nM.
