“…The main chemical modifications of triterpenic acids with polyamines are based on direct coupling with commercially available di- and tri-amines [ 4 , 8 , 11 ], as well as 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) oligo-methylene amines [ 8 ]. On the other hand, we have successfully introduced a polyamine chain into the triterpene core by the reactions of cyanoethylation followed by a reduction of the nitrile group based on triterpenic alcohols, oximes, amines, and amides, and this approach allowed us to obtain a broad library of branched extra-amino-triterpenoids [ 6 , 9 , 17 , 18 , 20 , 23 , 24 ]. In this paper, we focused on the evaluation of their cytotoxicity toward the NCI-60 cancer cell line panel, α-glucosidase inhibitory, and antimicrobial activities, as well as synthesis of two new lupane carboxamides.…”
