摘要
Carnosic acid was used as starting material to synthesize royleanone derivatives featured C11–C14 para quinone.The importance of C-20 group of royleanone derivatives was verified by the cytotoxicity assay of royleanonic acid,miltionone I and deoxyneocrptotanshinone.Following our synthetic route,15 amide derivatives were synthesized and 8 compounds exhibited moderate cytotoxic activities against three human cancer lines in vitro.
