Triterpenoic acids (oleanolic, ursolic, betulinic, platanic and glycyrrhetinic acid) were acetylated and coupled with 1,3- or 1,4-diazabicyclo[3.2.2]nonanes to yield amides.

Thereby, a betulinic acid/-1,4-cyclohexyldiamine amide showed excellent cytotoxicity (for example, EC = 0.6 μM for HT29 colon adenocarcinoma cells).
