[Synthesis and antitumor activities of 10-hydroxy camptothecin derivatives].
OBJECTIVE
To find new anticancer drug based on the structure of 10-hydroxy camptothecin.


METHODS
Seven camptothecin derivatives (3 -9) were synthesized and the antitumor activities of these derivatives were evaluated.


RESULTS
Structures of seven new compounds were determined by 1HNMR, IR, MS. Seven compounds showed inhibitory effects on Hela, BEL-7402, 7901 cell lines in vitro. Especially, compound 4 showed high bioactivities to all of the tumor cells in vitro, its anticancer activity against human cervical carcinoma Hela was much higher than that of 10-hydroxy camptothecin.


CONCLUSIONS
Some compounds are worth further studying.
