Protopanaxadiol (PPD), an aglycon of ginseng saponins, has shown anticancer activity in previous studies. Here we report the semi-synthesis of 9 PPD derivatives with acetyl substitutions. Subsequently, the antiproliferative effects of these 9 analogs on different human cancer cell lines were investigated. Compounds 1 and 3 showed more significant and more potent antiproliferative activity compared to PPD and other derivatives. A flow cytometric assay indicated that Compounds 1 and 3 arrested cell cycle progression in the G1 phase and significantly induced apoptosis of cancer cells.
