Synthesis and Cytotoxicity Evaluation of Panaxadiol Derivatives

In this study, 13 panaxadiol (PD) derivatives were synthesized via reactions with aromatic compounds and amino acids. Following this, the cytotoxicity of these compounds was evaluated against four cancer cell lines (human hepatoma cells HepG‐2, human lung cancer cells A549, human breast cancer cells MCF‐7, and human colon cancer cells HCT‐116) and one normal cell lines (human gastric epithelial cells GES‐1). The results showed that the...
