Effects of stilbene constituents from rhubarb on nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-activated macrophages

Two new anthraquinone glucosides [chrysophanol 8-O-β-D-(6'-galloyl)-glucopyranoside, aloe-emodin 1-O-β-D-glucopyranoside] together with various known stilbenes and their glucosides, anthraquinone glucosides, and a naphthalene glucoside were isolated from the rhizome of Rheum undulatum L. Three stilbenes (rhapontigenin, piceatannol, resveratrol), a naphthalene glucoside (torachrysone 8-O-β-D-glucopyranoside), and two stilbene glucoside gallates (rhaponticin 2'-O-gallate, rhaponticin 6'-O-gallate) showed inhibitory activity of NO production in lipopolysaccharide-activated macrophages. (IC50 = 11-69 μM). The oxygen functions (-OH,-OCH3) at the benzene ring were found to be essential to show the activity. Whereas, the glucoside moiety reduced the activity, while the α,β-double bond did not affect the activity. Furthermore, the active stilbenes (rhapontigenin, piceatannol, resveratrol) inhibited iNOS induction. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Protective effect of piceatannol and bioactive stilbene derivatives against hypoxia-induced toxicity in H9c2 cardiomyocytes and structural elucidation as 5-LOX inhibitors

Stilbenes with well-known antioxidant and antiradical properties are beneficial in different pathologies including cardiovascular diseases. The present research was performed to investigate the potential protective effect of resveratrol (1) and piceatannol (2), against hypoxia-induced oxidative stress in the H9c2 cardiomyoblast cell line, and the underlying mechanisms. Compounds 1 and 2 significantly inhibited the release of peroxynitrite and thiobarbituric acid levels at na no- or submicromolar concentrations, and this effect was more evident in piceatannol-treated cells, that significantly increased MnSOD protein level in a concentration dependent manner. Furthermore, since piceatannol, which is far less abundant in natural sources, displayed a higher bioactivity than the parent compound, we hereby report on a very fast synthesis and detailed structure-based design of a focused stilbene library. Finally, taking into account that hypoxia-induced ROS accumulation also increases expression and activity of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) with production of leukotrienes, we have disclosed structural key factors crucial for 5-LOX activity. Among the synthesized analogues (3–7), compound 7 was the most effective in improving cardiomyocytes viability and in 5-LOX inhibition. In conclusion, modeling and experimental studies provided the basis for further optimization of stilbene analogues as multi-target inhibitors of the inflammatory and oxidative pathway.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel (E) stilbene-based antitumor agents

Several new (E) stilbenes were synthesized by a combination of a Wittig olefination followed by Mizoroki-Heck coupling reactions. These compounds were screened for antitumor activity in a panel of 8 human cancer cell lines by a colorimetric SRB assay. Several of these compounds exhibit strong cytotoxicity. The most active compound of this series showed an average IC50 value of 0.03 μmol; it acts by apoptosis as shown by a dye-exclusion test, an extra acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining and DNA-laddering experiments.

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of (E) stilbene derivatives

Plants use multiple defence mechanisms comprising both constitutive and inducible barriers to prevent entering of phytopathogenic micro-organisms. In many plant species one of the most efficient responses to combat attacking microbes is the rapid synthesis of antimicrobial low molecular weight phytoalexins, for example, resveratrol, 3,5,4′-trihydroxystilbene (1). Resveratrol and its natural derivatives, however, display only moderate antimicrobial effects. Nevertheless, resveratrol may be a useful lead structure for the chemical synthesis of antimicrobials. In this study, several series of stilbenes have been synthesized, starting from the aldehydes using Wittig reactions to access the corresponding styrenes that were subjected to Mizoroki-Heck reactions to yield the stilbenes in good yields. The stilbenes were tested in an agar diffusion assay against several bacteria and fungi. For some of these compounds the inhibiting zones for bacteria and fungi were comparable with those of the antibiotics tetracycline, streptomycin, ampicillin, or kanamycin, directed against prokaryotes, and nourseothricin or hygromycin controlling fungi, respectively.

Syntheses of resveratrol and its hydroxylated derivatives as radical scavenger and tyrosinase inhibitor

Eight hydroxylated stilbene derivatives including resveratrol, desoxyrhapontigenin and piceatannol as potential radical scavenger and tyrosinase inhibitor are synthesized using optimized Wittig-Horner reaction for excellent trans-selectivity in good yields. Antioxidant activity was tested against ABTS radical and tyrosinase inhibitory activity was performed with L-tyrosine as the substrate based on previous procedure with some modification. In general, catecholic stilbenes showed stronger activity against ABTS radical and resorcinolic moiety showed stronger tyrosinase inhibitory activity. Synthetic piceatannol which containing both catecholic and resorcinolic moieties showed the strongest activity in both as ABTS radical scavenger and tyrosinase inhibitor with IC50 values of 4.1 and 8.6 μM, respectively.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of resveratrol and analogues as apoptosis-inducing agents

Resveratrol 1 (3,4′,5-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene), a phytoalexin present in grapes and other food products, has recently been suggested as a potential cancer chemopreventive agent based on its striking inhibitory effects on cellular events associated with cancer initiation, promotion, and progression. This triphenolic stilbene has also displayed in vitro growth inhibition in a number of human cancer cell lines. In this context, a series of cis- and trans-stilbene-based resveratrols were prepared with the aim of discovering new lead compounds with clinical potential. All the synthesized compounds were tested in vitro for cell growth inhibition and the ability to induce apoptosis in HL60 promyelocytic leukemia cells. The tested trans-stilbene derivatives were less potent than their corresponding cis isomers, except for trans-resveratrol, whose cis isomer was less active. The best results were obtained with compounds 11b and 7b, the cis-3,5-dimethoxy derivatives of rhapontigenin 10a (3,5,3′-trihydroxy-4′methoxy-transstilbene) and its 3′-amino derivative 10b, respectively, which showed apoptotic activity at nanomolar concentrations. The corresponding trans isomers 12b and 8b were less active both as antiproliferative and as apoptosis-inducing agents. Of interest, 11b and 7b were active toward resistant HL60R cells and their activity was higher than that of several classic chemotherapeutic agents. The flow cytometry assay showed that at 50 nM compounds 7b or 11b were able to recruit almost all cells in the apoptotic sub-G0-G1 peek, thus suggesting that the main mechanism of cytotoxicity of these compounds could be the activation of apoptosis. These data indicate unambiguously that structural alteration of the stilbene motif of resveratrol can be extremely effective in producing potent apoptosis-inducing agents.
