New derivative of 28-acetylbetulin containing a phenylpropynoyl moiety at the C-3 position was obtained by Steglich method. The chemical structure of this compound has been determined through 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, EI MS and HRMS. The antiproliferative effects of 28-O-acetyl-3-O’-(phenylpropynoyl)betulin were evaluated against three human cancer cell lines: T47D (breast cancer), CCRF/CEM (leukemia), SW707 (colorectal adenocarcinoma) and murine cell line P388 (leukemia). The synthesized compound exhibited moderate antiproliferative activity against P388 cells (IC50 = 35.51 µM). The in silico analysis showed that the title compound meets the criteria of Veber’s rule.
