Abstract: Kinetic parameters (rate constant, energy of activation, and entropy of activation) of the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the benzyl ethers (3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-(2-methoxyphenoxy)methane and (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)methoxymethane are determined for a wide range of compositions for mixtures of water and organic solvents (dioxane, DMSO, and acetic acid). It is shown that the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of these benzyl ethers in mixtures of water and aprotic solvents occurs as a reaction of bimolecular nucleophilic substitution. In aqueous acetic acid solutions, the mechanism of hydrolysis can be bimolecular or unimolecular, depending on the structure of the ether and the content of the organic solvent. The effect the solvents have on the rate and mechanism of the studied reaction is discussed in terms of solvation concepts.

The development of vasorelaxant as the antihypertensive drug is important as it produces a rapid and direct relaxation effect on the blood vessel muscles. Resveratrol (RV), as the most widely studied stilbenoid and the lead compound, inducing the excellent vasorelaxation effect through the multiple signalling pathways. In this study, the in vitro vascular response of the synthesized trans-stilbenoid derivatives, SB 1-8e were primarily evaluated by employing the phenylephrine (PE)-precontracted endothelium-intact isolated aortic rings. Herein we report trans-3,4,4′-trihydroxystilbene (SB 8b) exhibited surprisingly more than 2-fold improvement to the maximal relaxation (Rmax) of RV. This article also highlights the characterization of the aromatic protons in terms of their unique splitting patterns in 1H NMR.

Two series of moscatilin derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated as anti-tumor and anti-angiogenesis agents. Most of these compounds showed moderate-to-obvious cytotoxicity against five cancer cell lines (A549, HepG2, MDA-MB-231, MKN-45, HCT116). Among these cell lines, compounds had obvious effects on HCT116. Especially for 8Ae, the IC50 was low to 0.25 μM. 8Ae can inhibit the viability and induce the apoptosis of HCT116 cells but exhibit no cytotoxic activity in noncancerous NCM460 colon cells. 8Ae can also arrest the G2/M cell cycle in HCT116 cells by inhibiting the α-tubulin expression. Zebrafish bioassay-guided screen showed the 22 moscatilin derivatives had potent anti-angiogenic activities and compound 8Ae had better activities than positive compound. Molecular docking indicated 8Ae interacted with tubulin at the affinity of ?7.2 Kcal/mol. In conclusion, compound 8Ae was a potential antitumor and anti-angiogenesis candidate for further development.
