Abstract:
Based on the anticancer mechanism of biological alkylating agent, we designed and synthesized two alpha pinene derivatives:(1R,5S)-(6,6-dimethylbicyclo[3,1,1]hept-2-en-2-yl)methyl benzenesulfonate and (1R,5S)-(6,6-dimethylbicyclo[3,1,1]hept-2-en-2-yl)methyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate, of which structures were confirmed by ¹H-NMR, HPLC and MS date. These two compounds showed a good inhibition of tumor cells' proliferation. Further, the computer siuulation of molecular docking and metabolic kinetics indicated that these two copounds may have stable molecular complexation with protein CDK2, which closely related to the cell cycle.
