摘要

Esters of 4'-demethyl-4-deoxypodophyllotoxin (DDPT) with alkanoic acids and alkanedioic acids were prepared and tested for cytotoxic and antitumor activity. Among 19 esters, esters of propanoic acid, tetradecanedioic acid, 13-carboxyundecanoic acid, and hexadecanedioic acid improved the antitumor activity compared with that of the starting compounds, DDPT.
