A series of novel 18 beta H-glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) derivatives containing 3 '-(alkyl/phenyl/pyridin(-2 '', -3 '', and -4 '')-yl)-1 ' ,2 ' ,4 ' -oxadiazole moieties at the C-30 position were synthesized by condensation of triterpenoid's carboxyl group with corresponding amidoximes and further cyclization. Screening of the cytotoxicity of novel GA derivatives on a panel of tumor cell lines showed that the 3-acetoxy triterpenoid intermediates-O-acylated amidoxime 3a-h-display better solubility under bioassay conditions and more pronounced cytotoxicity compared to their 1 ' ,2 ' ,4 ' -oxadiazole analogs 4f-h (median IC50 = 7.0 and 49.7 mu M, respectively). Subsequent replacement of the 3-acetoxy group by the hydroxyl group of pyridin(-2 '', 3 '', and -4 '')-yl-1 ' ,2 ' ,4 ' -oxadiazole-bearing GA derivatives produced compounds 5f-h, showing the most pronounced selective toxicity toward tumor cells (median selectivity index (SI) > 12.1). Further detailed analysis of the antitumor activity of hit derivative 5f revealed its marked proapoptotic activity and inhibitory effects on clonogenicity and motility of HeLa cervical carcinoma cells in vitro, and the metastatic growth of B16 melanoma in vivo. Additionally, the comprehensive in silico study revealed intermediate 3d, bearing the tert-butyl moiety in O-acylated amidoxime, as a potent anti-inflammatory candidate, which was able to effectively inhibit inflammatory response induced by IFN gamma in macrophages in vitro and carrageenan in murine models in vivo, probably by primary interactions with active sites of MMP9, neutrophil elastase, and thrombin. Taken together, our findings provide a basis for a better understanding of the structure-activity relationship of 1 ' ,2 ' ,4 ' -oxadiazole-containing triterpenoids and reveal two hit molecules with pronounced antitumor (5f) and anti-inflammatory (3d) activities.
