SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NEW IMINE AND PTHALIC ACID DERIVATIVES OF URSOLIC ACID
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Objective: The current work envisages synthesis of novel ursolic acid derivatives and characterization by spectral methods that can be possible candidates for anti-inflammatory and anticancer activity.Methods: A series of imine and phthalic acid derivatives of ursolic acid (3β-hydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid), have been synthesized. 3-hydroxyimino-urs-12-en-28-olic acid was treated with alkyl halide in the presence of sodium hydride in ethanol to yield 3-alkyloxyimino-urs-12-en-28-oic acid and further converted to its ester derivatives. Ursolic acid was reacted with phthalic anhydride in pyridine to get mono and di-substituted ester derivatives.Results: Novel substituted imino and pthalic derivatives were synthesized. The compounds synthesized were characterized by MS, IR, 1H and [13]C-NMR spectroscopy.Conclusion: The derivatives prepared may facilitate designing of similar newer analogues which may be useful for generating possible candidates from ursolic acid for anti-imflammatory and anti-cancer potential. Ursolic acid oximes and its anhydrides exhibit valuable biological properties and are important starting materials for further transformations.Â
