Overview
abstract
A series of aminoparthenolide analogs (6-37) were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-leukemic activity. Eight compounds exhibited good anti-leukemic activity with LD(50)'s in the low microM range (1.5-3.0microM). Compounds 16, 24 and 30 were the most potent compounds in the series, causing greater than 90% cell death at 10microM concentration against primary AML cells in culture, with LD(50) values of 1.7, 1.8 and 1.6microM.
