Bioactivity | 3-Oxobetulin acetate is a derivative of the cholesterol biosynthesis inhibitor Betulin (HY-N0083). It inhibits the growth of P388 murine lymphocytic leukemia cells (EC50=0.12 μg/mL), as well as human MCF-7 breast, SF-268 CNS, H460 lung, and KM20L2 colon cancer cells (GI50s=8, 10.6, 5.2, and 12.7 μg/mL, respectively), but not BxPC-3 pancreas or DU145 prostate cancer cells (GI50s=>10 μg/mL for both).2 3-Oxobetulin acetate inhibits replication of X4 tropic recombinant HIV (NL4.3-Ren) in MT-2 lymphoblastoid cells (IC50=13.4 μM). It is also active against L. donovani amastigotes when used at a concentration of 50 μM. |
