Abstract

Twenty-two new esters of natural (-)-cephalotaxine with synthetic acids possessing widely divergent structural features have been synthesized. Murine antitumor (P388 system) test data reveal that the methyl itaconate (7a) and trichloroethyl carbonate (27) esters of cephalotaxine are the most active of this group; this activity is less than that of harringtonine and other naturally occurring cephalotaxine esters. Other synthetic esters exhibiting ...
