Abstract: In order to decrease the toxicities of retinoids and enhance the pharmaceutical effects, especially the cytotoxic activities, retinoic acids were modified by glycosyl groups. Nine new retinoyl sugar derivatives of 13-cis-retinoic acid(5a—5d, 6a, 10a—10c, 11a) were synthesized in good yields. Their structures were characterized and their cytotoxic activities were determined in vitro with MTT assay by using human cancer lines including A549 cells lines etc. The results show that glucoside derivatives exhibited interesting cytotoxic activities and their cytotoxic activities are stronger than glycosyl esters. Deactylation of compounds 5a and 10a also improved their bioactivities, respectively.

Key words: 13-cis-Retinoic acid, Retinoid, Glycosyl Ester, Cytotoxic activity
