[0136] Experimental Example 1: Activity test of the compound prepared in the embodiments of the present invention to inhibit tumor cells.

[0137] I. Experimental Materials

[0138] 1. Test compounds: The compounds prepared in Examples 1 to 16 are numbered as Compound 1 to 16 respectively;

[0139] 2. Control compound: Podophyllotoxin; purchased from Xi'an Helin Biotechnology Co., Ltd., purity 98%;

[0140] 3. Cell lines: HepG2, HeLa, A549, HGC27 and other cell lines were purchased from Wuhan Pronosai Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0141] II. Test Methods

[0142] HepG2, HeLa, A549, and HGC27 cell lines in logarithmic growth phase were centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, the supernatant was discarded, and the cells were resuspended in an appropriate amount of culture medium to adjust the cell concentration to 3.5 × 10⁻⁶. 4 Cells were seeded per well in 96-well culture plates, and the following experimental groups were set up:

[0143] One negative control group; 10 experimental groups with the same concentration (i.e., compound 1-compound 10 groups); 2 control groups: paclitaxel group and colchicine group.

[0144] 0.10 mL of cells were added to each well, and RPMI 1640 containing 10% fetal bovine serum was used as the culture medium. After 24 h of culture at 37°C, 5% CO2 and saturated humidity, the cells were discarded when they were nearly confluent. 0.10 M of RPMI 1640 culture medium containing the same amount of compounds (1) and (10) in 10% fetal bovine serum was added to each of the 12 experimental groups. 0.10 M of RPMI 1640 culture medium containing paclitaxel and colchicine in 10% fetal bovine serum was added to the paclitaxel group and colchicine group, respectively. The amounts of paclitaxel and colchicine were exactly the same as those of compounds 1-10. The negative control group was added with a final concentration of 0.5% DMSO. Each group was divided into 3 replicates and cultured for another 48 h. 10 μL of 5 mg / ml MTT was added to each well and the cells were incubated at 37°C for 4 h. Add 100 μl DMSO to each well, shake on a shaker at 37°C for 30 min, and measure the absorbance (OD) at 490 nm. Calculate the MTT ratio as: OD value of the drug group / OD value of the negative control group.

[0145] III. Test Results

[0146] The experimental results are shown in Table 1. As can be seen from Table 1, compounds 1-16 significantly enhanced the antitumor activity of HepG2, HeLa, A549, and HGC27 cell lines. Among them, compound 2 showed higher activity against HepG2 cell line than paclitaxel and colchicine.
