Abstract: Novel lupane-type triterpenoid-isoxazole conjugates were designed by direct placing of isoxazole linker at C(17) of triterpenoid. The suggested synthetic sequence demonstrates successful combination of electro-organic synthesis and conventional approaches. TEMPO-mediated electrooxidation of betulin to betulinal was developed and optimized at boron-doped diamond anodes with potassium acetate as inexpensive supporting electrolyte. Betulinal-derived oxime was further selectively electro-oxidized at a graphite anode to nitrile oxide, which proved to be stable and isolable species. The same reaction sequence was performed with 3β-lupane-3,28-diol. Nitrile oxides were characterized by 15N NMR and X-ray crystallography. The isolable nitrile oxides allowed creation of isoxazole library by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with various alkynes. Some of the title conjugates exhibit cytostatic properties against breast cancer cell line MCF7, glioblastoma multiform cell line U-87 MG and lung carcinoma cell line A549 with growth inhibition (GI50) concentrations up to 11 μm, while being harmless to immortalized human fibroblasts hTERT (GI50 >100 μm).
