Annonaceous acetogenins (ACGs) are one of the most interesting classes of natural products appearing in the past two decades. Here, we studied the antitumor activity and toxicity relationship of ACGs covering the three major structural classes of mono-tetrahydrofuran (THF), adjacent bis-THF and nonadjacent bis-THF compounds including annosquamin B (1), bullatacin (2) and Annosquatin B (3) in vivo. A single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections of 100 μg/kg of 1-3 did not cause side effects in normal mice. Five doses of 25 and 50 μg/kg of 2 to H22 hepatoma cells xenografts bearing mice resulted in a above 61% reduction in tumor growth with no pathological changes, but hematologic parameters increased significantly in normal mice. Ten doses of 25, 50 and 100 μg/kg of 1 and 3 to the H22 hepatoma cells transplantation tumor model mice resulted in a maximum 53.7% and 58.7% reduction in tumor growth, respectively, and did not cause severe side effects in normal mice. This study provided the evidence that adjacent bis-THF ACGs showed higher antitumor activity, and also exhibited higher toxicity than mono-THF and nonadjacent bis-THF ACGs in vivo.
