摘要：
The selective apoptosis-inducing activity of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids belonging to the crinane-type is reported. A mini-library of natural and synthetic crinane alkaloids was assembled. Biological screening indicated crinamine 4 and haemanthamine 9 to be potent inducers of apoptosis in tumour cells at micromolar concentrations. Structure-activity relationships demonstrated the requirement for both an alpha-C2 bridge and a free hydroxyl at the C-11 position as pharmacophoric requirements for this activity.
