Abstract

New iridoid glycoside derivatives from durantoside I, the latter from the dried flowers and leaves of Citharexylum spinosum, were synthesized by variously modifying a sugar moiety by silylation or acetylation and/or removal of cinnamate group at C-7 position and subsequent screening for comparative cytotoxicity against several cancer cell lines. Addition of alkylsilane to durantoside I and removal of cinnamate group were most effective in improving cytotoxicity.
