- Novel Carbazole-Based N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands to Access Synthetically Relevant Stilbenes in Pd-Catalyzed Coupling Processes
-
A series of new carbazole-based N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have been synthesized in a simple and facile synthetic route and subsequently used in a Pd/carbazole-based NHC catalytic system, which was found to be effective in catalyzing Heck reactions to provide substituted stilbene derivatives in good yields. Several bioactive stilbenes, including pterostilbene, pinosylvin, trimethoxy resveratrol, and resveratrol, were synthesized in good yields, and a 10 mmol scale-up was also performed for trimethoxy resveratrol. The synthetic application was also extended by performing a double-tandem chemoselective Heck reaction followed by Miyaura borylation in a one-pot procedure to give single-step access to synthetically useful stilbenyl boronate esters. Similarly, a unique triple-tandem protocol of a chemoselective Heck reaction/Miyaura borylation/Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction sequence was performed for the one-pot modification of biologically relevant molecules.

- Discovery of efficient stimulators for adult hippocampal neurogenesis based on scaffolds in dragon's blood
-
Reduction of hippocampal neurogenesis caused by aging and neurological disorders would impair neural circuits and result in memory loss. A new lead compound (N-trans-3′,4'-methylenedioxystilben-4-yl acetamide 27) has been discovered to efficiently stimulate adult rats' neurogenesis. In-depth structure-activity relationship studies proved the necessity of a stilbene scaffold that is absent in highly cytotoxic analogs such as chalcones and heteroaryl rings and inactive analogs such as diphenyl acetylene and diphenyl ethane, and validated the importance of an NH in the carboxamide and a methylenedioxy substituent on the benzene ring. Immunohistochemical staining and biochemical analysis indicate, in contrast to previously reported neuroprotective chemicals, N-stilbenyl carboxamides have extra capacity for neuroproliferation-type neurogenesis, thereby providing a foundation for improving the plasticity of the adult mammalian brain.

- A facile and rapid access to resveratrol derivatives and their radioprotective activity
-
A facile and rapid access to resveratrol derivatives has been achieved based on palladium-catalyzed oxidative Heck reaction of aryl boronic acids with styrenes followed by demethylation in moderate to good yields. A series of resveratrol derivatives with various functional groups has been synthesized easily. The radioprotective activity of synthesized compounds has also been evaluated using rat thymocytes. The results revealed that some resveratrol derivatives efficiently protected the thymocytes from radiation-induced apoptosis.

- Hydroxyl substitutional effect on selective synthesis of CIS, trans stilbenes and 3-arylcoumarins through perkin condensation
-
The substitutional effect in the selective synthesis of cis, trans stilbenes and 3-arylcoumarins has been described. The regio- and geometrical selectivity for synthesis of stilbene derivatives under the Perkin strategy strongly depends on the presence or absence of hydroxyl group as well as their positions in the phenyl ring. As a result, practical synthetic strategies were established for preparing various natural stilbenes including combretastatin A-4, pterostilbene, and resveratrol with satisfactory yields (49.2-63.7%).

- 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.

- A simple access to biologically important trans-stilbenes via Ru-catalyzed cross metathesis
-
The cross metathesis of methoxy- or acetoxy-substituted styrenes using the Grubbs II catalyst affords unsymmetrical (mixed) E-stilbenes with astonishingly high selectivity (up to 79% yield). This approach offers a short and flexible synthesis of variously substituted stilbenes, which are derivatives or precursors of biologically important compounds such as resveratrol, piceatannol, and pinostilbene.
