Chemical Research in Chinese Universities Aims and scope

Abstract

Oleandomycin glycosyltransferase variant P67T/S132F/A242V(ASP) was used to convert 10-hydroxy-camptothecin into camptothecin-10-O-glucoside, which was confirmed by spectral analysis. Compared to the pre-viously reported results, the present study reached the conversion rate up to 80% through the optimization of reaction conditions. In addition, compared with 10-hydroxycamptothecin(HCPT), camptothecin-10-O-glucoside inhibited the proliferation of Huh7 cells in a concentration-dependent manner and showed stronger antineoplastic effect but lower toxicity. Furthermore, camptothecin-10-O-glucoside induced more apoptotic cells as compared with the parent compound.
