18beta-Glycyrrhetinic acid (GA), 3beta-hydroxyl-11-oxo-olean-12-ene-29-oic acid, has been found to inhibit growth and to induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Through structural modification, 16 GA derivatives (12 novel compounds) with modified structures at the C(3) and C(29) positions were synthesized. The antiproliferative effects and apoptosis induction abilities of these compounds were determined in human leukemia HL-60 cells. The replacement of the hydroxyl group of GA with a carbonyl group or an oxime group at C(3) position does not influence the antiproliferative effect. However, the antiproliferative and apoptosis induction abilities of the compounds with a replaced alkoxyimino group at position C(3) and a free C(29) carboxyl group are markedly increased.
