Screening of Ursolic Acid Analogs with HIF-1[alpha] and COX-2-Inhibiting Effects

Three novel series of derivatives by introducing a 1,2,3-triazoles moiety, 1,2,4-triazoles moiety or a nitroimidazoles ring to the ursolic acid (UA) nucleus were designed and synthesized. The biological activity of these compounds was evaluated to assess their hypoxia-inducible factor-1[alpha] (HIF-...

Description
Summary:Three novel series of derivatives by introducing a 1,2,3-triazoles moiety, 1,2,4-triazoles moiety or a nitroimidazoles ring to the ursolic acid (UA) nucleus were designed and synthesized. The biological activity of these compounds was evaluated to assess their hypoxia-inducible factor-1[alpha] (HIF-1[alpha]) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitory activities along with HIF-1[alpha] inhibitory and anti-inflammatory effects. Compound 7e exhibited the highest activity of all the synthesized compounds, which was higher activity than observed for the positive control UA.
