A new lupane triterpenoid containing a 1α,2β,3β-triacetoxy-functionalized ring A was synthesized from betulinic acid. Its conjugate with the membrane-penetrating cationic compound F16 was prepared. The conjugate exhibited significantly more pronounced antitumor activity than betulinic acid (betulinic acid IC50 34.5 μM, conjugate IC50 6.3 μM) in studies of the cytotoxic activity against H1299 and A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells but did not show selectivity between tumor cells and noncancer murine embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs).
