Earlier studies demonstrated that semisynthetic derivatization of these natural compounds could result in more active agents, and oxidative transformations are particularly promising in this regard. In our work, a natural phenanthrene, juncuenin B, was transformed by hypervalent iodine(III) reagents using a diversity-oriented approach. Eleven racemic semisynthetic compounds were produced, the majority containing an alkyl substituted p-quinol ring. Purification of the compounds was carried out by chromatographic techniques, and their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic methods. Stereoisomers of the bioactive derivatives were separated by chiral-phase HPLC and the absolute configurations of the active compounds, 2,6-dioxo-1,8a-dimethoxy-1,7-dimethyl-8-vinyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthrenes (1a\u2013d), and 8a-ethoxy-1,7-dimethyl-6-oxo-8-vinyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene-2-ols (7a,b) were determined by ECD measurements and TDDFT-ECD calculations. The antiproliferative activities of the compounds were tested on different (MCF-7, T47D, HeLa, SiHa, C33A, A2780) human gynecological cancer cell lines. Compounds 1a\u2013d, 4a, 6a, and 7a possessed higher activity than juncuenin B on several tumor cell lines. The structure\u2013activity relationship studies suggested that the p-quinol (2,5-cyclohexadien-4-hydroxy-1-one) moiety has a considerable effect on the antiproliferative properties, and substantial differences could be identified in the activities of the stereoisomers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acs.jnatprod.0c00499","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,16]],"date-time":"2020-10-16T16:02:05Z","timestamp":1602864125000},"page":"3250-3261","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Oxidized Juncuenin B Analogues with Increased Antiproliferative\nActivity on Human Adherent Cell Lines: Semisynthesis and Biological\nEvaluation"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"83","author":[{"given":"Csaba","family":"Bu\u0301s","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Szeged , , ,","place":["Szeged, Hungary, 6720"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A\u0301gnes","family":"Kulma\u0301ny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Szeged , , ,","place":["Szeged, Hungary, 6720"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Norbert","family":"Ku\u0301sz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Szeged , , ,","place":["Szeged, Hungary, 6720"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ti\u0301mea","family":"Gonda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Szeged , , ,","place":["Szeged, Hungary, 6720"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Istva\u0301n","family":"Zupko\u0301","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Szeged , , ,","place":["Szeged, Hungary, 6720"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7867-7084","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Attila","family":"Ma\u0301ndi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Debrecen , , ,","place":["Debrecen, Hungary, 4032"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8831-8499","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Tibor","family":"Kurta\u0301n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Debrecen , , ,","place":["Debrecen, Hungary, 4032"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Barbara","family":"To\u0301th","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Szeged , , ,","place":["Szeged, Hungary, 6720"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2887-6392","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Judit","family":"Hohmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Szeged , , ,","place":["Szeged, Hungary, 6720"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Attila","family":"Hunyadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Szeged , , ,","place":["Szeged, Hungary, 6720"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1818-7702","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Andrea","family":"Vasas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Szeged , , ,","place":["Szeged, Hungary, 6720"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"316","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026090309012103900_cit1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"5233","DOI":"10.1021\/jo8001112","volume":"73","author":"He","year":"2008","journal-title":"J.
