Abstract: The natural product oridonin has the potential to be a broad-spectrum antineoplastic agent. To develop oridonin analogues with high potency, a series of novel oridonin analogues were designed and synthesized by removing the multiple hydroxyl groups of parent compound. The representative analogues 14, 19, and 26 exhibited potent anticancer effects against K562, MDA-MB-231, SMMC-7721, and MCF-7 cells. Further structural modification on their 14-OH generated more potent derivatives 16n, 21d, and 28d respectively, in which the IC50 value of compound 16n was 50-fold more potent than parent oridonin in K562 cells. Furthermore, compound 16n significantly induced the cell cycle arrest of K562 cells at the G2 phase and increased the fraction of apoptotic cells. Importantly, compounds 16n, 21d, and 28d exhibited good antitumor activities in H22 allograft mice in vivo. These results suggest that compounds 16n, 21d, and 28d deserve further development as promising candidates for the treatment of cancers.
