Synthesis and сytotoxicity of a-azepanobetulinic acid N-methyl-piperazinylamide

Abstract

The synthesis of A-azepanobetulinic acid N-methylpiperazinylamide was performed through a series of transformations (oximation, Beckmann rearrangement, reduction) of previously synthesized betulonic acid N-methylpiperazinylamide. In vitro cytotoxic activity was detected for the obtained compound against a number of cancer cell lines, and its potential was revealed as an antibacterial agent.
