Anticancer and Radiosensitizing Potential of Sulfated Derivatives of Steroidal 5α-Cholestane-3β,6α,7α,8,15α,16β,26-Heptaol from the Starfish Patiria pectinifera
摘要
Three monosulfated (3-OSO3-Hept, 6-OSO3-Hept, and 26-OSO3-Hept) and two disulfated derivatives (3,26-di-OSO3-Hept and 6,26-di-OSO3-Hept) were synthesized from 5α-cholestane-3β,6α,7α,8,15α,16β,26-heptaol (Hept) isolated from the starfish Patiria pectinifera. 3-OSO3-Hept and 6-OSO3-Hept at a nontoxic concentration of 20 μM exhibited synergism with X-rays against SK-MEL-5 melanoma, HT-29 colon carcinoma, and MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. Also, 3-OSO3-Hept at this same concentration was 49% effective for preventing migration of SK-MEL-5 cells.
