Abstract: To synthesize some novel ursolic acid/glycyrrhetinic acid-uridine conjugates and evaluate their anti-tumor activity in vitro. Ursolic acid and glycyrrhetinic acid was esterified with corresponding α,ω-dibromoalkane in the presence of potassium carbonate to prepare intermediates. Then, the intermediates were treated with uridine under potassium carbonate by means of a nucleophilic substitution reaction to generate four ursolic acid/glycyrrhetinic acid-uridine derivatives. Anti-tumor activity was tested by the MTT assay. Glycyrrhetinic acid-uridine derivatives showed better inhibitory activity against proliferation of HepG-2 and A549 cells than ursolic acid-uridine derivatives. All targeted compounds exhibited excellent inhibitory activity ([n-(uridinyl-3) octyl]-3β-hydroxy-11-oxo-olean-12-en-29-oate expressed the best inhibition at about 64%), while they exhibited no obvious inhibitory effect on other tumor cells (HeLa, NCI-H460, BEL-7404). Compound [n-(uridinyl-3) octyl]-3β-hydroxyurs-12-en-28-oate showed moderate inhibitory against HeLa cells (about 54%).

Key words: ursolic acid, glycyrrhetinic acid, uridine, conjugate, anti-tumor
