Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is an incurable peripheral T-cell malignancy caused by human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I. In our preceding paper, 214 extracts from 162 plants were screened to elucidate the antiproliferative principles against ATL cell lines. Several withanolides were isolated and the structure-activity relationships (SAR) examined. To extend the search for SAR, 31 further withanolides, previously isolated from solanaceous plants, were tested against ATL cell lines. The presence of a 4 beta-hydroxy group as well as a 5 beta,6 beta-epoxy group appeared to be essential for the activity. In contrast, the presence of a sugar moiety at either the 3- or the 27-position led to a reduction in the activity. Furthermore, 24,25-dihydrowithanolide D (13) was identified as the most potent inhibitor, showing selective toxicity against ATL cell lines by inducing apoptotic cell death.
