Abstract: Andrographolide, the major diterpenoid lactone from Andrographis paniculata, is toxic against cancer cells. In the present study, we investigated the structure-activity relationships (SARs) of 19 andrographolide analogues which were synthesized by modification at the three hydroxyl groups. A number of the andrographolide analogues showed much higher cytotoxic activities than that of the parent compound on cancer cells including P-388, KB, COL-2, MCF-7, LU-1 and ASK cells. SAR studies of the synthetic analogues indicated that the introduction of silyl ether or triphenylmethyl ether group into C-19 of the parent compound led to increase in toxicity against the cancer cells. The 19-O-triphenylmethyl ether analogue 18 showed higher cytotoxic activity than the potent anticancer drug ellipticine, and this analogue may serve as a potential structure lead for the development of new anticancer drugs.
