Description Glycoside derivatives of diospyrin (1) were synthesized for the first time, and the cytotoxicity of the
novel compounds vis-`a-vis their precursors were evaluated against two human cancer cell lines, viz.
malignant melanoma (A375) and laryngeal carcinoma (Hep2). The IC50 values were in the low
micromolar range for all the compounds tested, and A375 cells showed comparatively greater
sensitivity than Hep2. Most of the compounds exhibited enhanced activity as compared to the
plant-derived quinonoid precursor of the series (1), while the aminophenyl mannosyl (6) was found to
be the most effective derivative. In A375 cells, 6 (IC50 = 0.02 lM) showed the maximum increase in
cytotoxicity (∼35-fold) over that of 1 (IC50 = 0.82 lM). Again, when the glycosides were evaluated at a
given concentration (0.1 lM) for their relative capacity to generate ROS from A375 cells, the compound
6 could produce the highest amount of ROS. Incidentally, this derivative also showed a comparatively
lower toxicity (IC50 ∼ 41 lM) when tested against normal human peripheral blood mononuclear cells,
indicating a fair prospect of its development as a novel chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of
malignant melanoma.
