The title compounds (
5a and
5b) were
synthesized from ursolic acid and their structures were characterized by
spectroscopic methods including ESI-MS,
1H-NMR,
13C-NMR
and elemental analysis. The crystal structures of compounds
5a and
5b were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
Compound
5a crystallizes in
monoclinic system,
P2
1 space group with
a = 12.258(3),
b = 10.396(2),
c = 15.570(3) Å,
b = 107.21(3)°,
Z = 2,
V = 1895.3(7) Å
3,
Mr = 659.90,
Dc = 1.156 Mg/m
3,
S = 1.003,
µ = 0.076 mm
−1,
F(000) = 716, the final
R = 0.0686 and
wR = 0.1430 for 1859 observed reflections (
I > 2
σ(
I)). Compound
5b crystallizes in monoclinic system,
P2
1 space group with
a = 12.371(3),
b = 10.647(2),

µ = 0.069 mm
−1,
F(000) = 716, the final
R = 0.0686 and
wR = 0.1882 for 2574 observed reflections (
I > 2
σ(
I)). The preliminary cytotoxic assay
indicated that compound
5b exhibited
notable cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 and HeLa cells with the IC
50 values of 10.71 ± 0.23 and 12.63 ± 0.31 μM, respectively.
