Abstract :
Synthetic intermediates of alkaloid halichlorine with the azaspiro core structure have been found to induce apoptosis of cultured human cells including an acute monocytic leukemia cell line (THP-1) at micromolar concentrations. The novel biological activity of the intermediates was suggested to depend on the skeletal structure and silyloxymethyl functionality on the five-membered ring.
