Abstract

Aminoalkyl substituted derivatives were synthesized starting from glycyrrhetinic acid methyl ester and screened for antitumor activity in a panel of 15 human Cancer cell lines by an SRB assay. The most compound 7 possesses an aminohexyl side chain, induces Apoptosis and shows IC50 values of 0.6-3.0 μM.
