OSW-1 is a steroidal saponin, which has emerged as an attractive anticancer agent with highly cancer cell selective activity. A fluorescent analog was prepared from the natural product to analyze its cellular uptake and localization. We found that the fluorescent analog is rapidly internalized into cells and is primarily distributed in endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus.

A strategy to site-selectively monoacylate an antitumor saponin OSW-1 was developed using an organotin reagent to rapidly access its derivatives that are useful as chemical probes. 4″-O-Acylated OSW-1 derivatives bearing a fluorophore, an alkyne tag, or biotin were prepared in good yields and were shown to maintain highly cytotoxic activity.
