Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of N13-Substituted Evodiamine Derivatives against Human Cancer Cell Lines

Attempting to improve the anticancer activity and solubility of evodiamine in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) and simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) solutions, thirty-eight N13-substituted evodiamine derivatives were designed, synthesized and tested for antitumor activities against six kinds of human ca...
