A series of hybrids, which are composed of glycyrrhetic acid (GA) and slowly hydrogen sulfide-releasing donor ADT-OH, were designed and synthesized to develop anticancer and anti-inflammatory agents. Most of the compounds, whose inhibitory rates were comparable to or higher than those of GA and aspirin, respectively, significantly inhibited xylene-induced ear edema in mice. Especially, compound V4exhibited the most potent inhibitory rate of 60.7%. Furthermore, preliminary structure–activity relationship studies demonstrated that 3-substituted GA derivatives had stronger anti-inflammatory activities than the corresponding 3-unsubstituted GA derivatives. In addition, anti-proliferative activities of compounds V1−9 were evaluated in three different human cancer cell lines. Compound V4 showed the most high potency against all three tumor cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 10.01 μM in Hep G2 cells to 17.8 μM in MDA-MB-231 cells, which were superior to positive GA.
