The crucial E-ring of camptothecin has been modified to afford the homologous β-hydroxylactone derivative BN 80245. This compound, which is more stable than camptothecin, remains a potent inhibitor of both cell growth and topoisomerase I.

Homocamptothecins (hCPTs) represent a class of new emerging antitumor agents, which contains a seven-membered β-hydroxylactone in place of the conventional six-membered α-hydroxylactone ring (E ring) of camptothecins. Some novel 7-substituted hCPTs were designed and synthesized based on a newly developed synthetic route which couples ring A with ring C, E and D. Most of the synthesized compounds exhibit very high cytotoxic activity on tumor cell line A549. Some compounds, such as 9b, 9l, and 9y, show broad in vitro antitumor spectrum and are more potent than topotecan. Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) methods, CoMFA and CoMSIA, were applied to explain the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of the synthesized compounds. Furthermore, molecular docking was used to clarify the binding mode of the synthesized compounds to human DNA topoisomerase I. The important hydrophobic, base-pair stacking, and hydrogen-bonding interactions were observed between the hCPT derivatives and their receptor. The results from molecular modeling will guide the design of novel hCPTs with higher antitumor activity.
