Abstract

10-Aminovindoline and 17-desacetylvindoline were coupled with 5α- dihydrotestosterone hemisuccinate and 19-nortestosterone hemisuccinate. As a result, four vindoline-steroid hybrids were synthesized via a succinate linker. One of the new hybrid compounds showed significant anticancer effect in vitro in the case of colon cancer and melanoma cell lines.

Keywords: Vinca alkaloids, vindoline, steroid, succinate linker, hybrid molecules, antitumor activity.
