摘要
The title compound cinobufagin 3-hemisuberate methyl ester（1） was isolated from the venom of Bufo bufo gargarizans CANTOR. The crystal structure of 1, C35H48O9, was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. It belongs to orthorhombic, space group P212121 with a = 8.9338（3）, b = 16.2970（4）, c = 22.4019（6） , V = 3261.59（16） 3, Mr = 612.73, Z = 4, Dc = 1.248 g/cm3, μ = 0.725 mm-1, F（000） = 1320, S = 1.040, the final R = 0.0374 and wR = 0.0412 for 4458 unique reflections, of which 4088 were observed（I 〉 2σ（I））. In the solid state, short intermolecular C-H...O interactions involving a methine and the ester carbonyl group in cinobufagin moiety and a methyl in the suberate moiety linked adjacent molecules into a three-dimensional network. Detailed analysis of the 1H-NMR data showed that X-ray structure of 1 would be expected to closely resemble the solution conformation in chloroform. Compound 1 was inactive for the inhibition of PC3 and HepG2 cancer cells, but the parent compound cinobufagin showed potent inhibition with IC50 values of 0.145 and 5.48 μM, respectively, indicating that esterification at C（3） decreased the cytotoxic effect of 1.
