Abstract:
To explore the antitumour mechanism of 20(S)-protopanaxadiol (PPD) while maintaining its uncovered pharmacological active site 3-hydroxyl, 28-hydroxy protopanaxadiol (17), a small molecular probe template of PPD was first designed and synthesised based on the Baldwin's reaction. Thus, 28-hydroxyl of 17 was built successfully as a derivatized site of molecular probe's functional and report groups. The important intermediates and final product were confirmed by ESI-MS and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra with good yield. These studies provided a valuable basis for probe research of PPD.
