New peracyl derivatives of the natural flavonoid (±)-catechin were synthesized. It was shown that carboxylic-acid acyl residues enhanced to various degrees the cytotoxicity of peracyl catechins against HeLa cell line. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by PMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The catechins were compared with previously studied analogous dihydroquercetin derivatives.
