- Scalable Total Synthesis of Piceatannol-3′-O-β-d-glucopyranoside and the 4′-Methoxy Congener Thereof: An Early Stage Glycosylation Strategy
-
Scalable syntheses of piceatannol-3'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside and the 4'-methoxy congener thereof were achieved. This route features an early implemented Fischer-like glycosylation reaction, a regioselective iodination of phenolic glycoside under strongly acidic conditions, a highly telescoped route to access the styrene derivative, and a key Mizoroki.Heck reaction to render the desired coupled products in high overall yield.

- Phenolic Bis-styrylbenzo[ c]-1,2,5-thiadiazoles as Probes for Fluorescence Microscopy Mapping of Aβ Plaque Heterogeneity
-
A fluorescent bis-styryl-benzothiadiazole (BTD) with carboxylic acid functional groups (X-34/Congo red analogue) showed lower binding affinity toward Aβ1-42 and Aβ1-40 fibrils than its neutral analogue. Hence, variable patterns of neutral OH-substituted bis-styryl-BTDs were generated. All bis-styryl-BTDs showed higher binding affinity to Aβ1-42 fibrils than to Aβ1-40 fibrils. The para-OH on the phenyl rings was beneficial for binding affinity while a meta-OH decreased the affinity. Differential staining of transgenic mouse Aβ amyloid plaque cores compared to peripheral coronas using neutral compared to anionic bis-styryl ligands indicate differential recognition of amyloid polymorphs. Hyperspectral imaging of transgenic mouse Aβ plaque stained with uncharged para-hydroxyl substituted bis-styryl-BTD implicated differences in binding site polarity of polymorphic amyloid plaque. Most properties of the corresponding bis-styryl-BTD were retained with a rigid alkyne linker rendering a probe insensitive to cis-trans isomerization. These new BTD-based ligands are promising probes for spectral imaging of different Aβ fibril polymorphs.

- Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of resveratrol analogues as aromatase and quinone reductase 2 inhibitors for chemoprevention of cancer
-
A series of new resveratrol analogues were designed and synthesized and their inhibitory activities against aromatase were evaluated. The crystal structure of human aromatase (PDB 3eqm) was used to rationalize the mechanism of action of the aromatase inhibitor 32 (IC50 0.59 μM) through docking, molecular mechanics energy minimization, and computer graphics molecular modeling, and the information was utilized to design several very potent inhibitors, including compounds 82 (IC50 70 nM) and 84 (IC50 36 nM). The aromatase inhibitory activities of these compounds are much more potent than that for the lead compound resveratrol, which has an IC50 of 80 μM. In addition to aromatase inhibitory activity, compounds 32 and 44 also displayed potent QR2 inhibitory activity (IC 50 1.7 μM and 0.27 μM, respectively) and the high-resolution X-ray structures of QR2 in complex with these two compounds provide insight into their mechanism of QR2 inhibition. The aromatase and quinone reductase inhibitors resulting from these studies have potential value in the treatment and prevention of cancer.
