The C-9 and C-7 monoesters and C-7, C-9 diesters of heliotridine with (S)-(+)-and (R)-(-)-2-hydroxy-2-phenylbutyric acid were prepared, converted into their A-oxides, and compared with the corresponding C-9 monoesters of retronecine in the in vivo P388 lymphocytic leukemia screen. Relative invitro cytotoxicities of some of the free bases and their corresponding A-oxides were also measured againstthe A204 rhabdomyosarcoma cell line by using the soft agar colony forming assay. Stereochemistry at C-7 of the necine and at C-2'of the necic acid appears to have a significant effect on the antitumor activity in this system. In the heliotridine series, the configuration of the necic acid has a pronounced effect on the site selectivity (C-7 vs C-9) in esterification with carbodiimidazole. An explanation for this site selectivity is offered.It has been reported that, on a molar basis, diesters of retronecine (1) and heliotridine (2) and about 4 times as toxic as the respective C-9 monoesters and heliotridine C-9 monoesters are 2-4 times as toxic as retronecine C-9 mo-noesters. 1 Thus, it was concluded that an-OH at C-7 leads to higherhepatotoxicity than a/3-OH. Metabolic pyrroles such as 3, produced in the liver from pyrrolizidine alkaloids containing a double bond at Cl, have been identified as the cytotoxic agents. 2 3™ 4
