Resveratrol is a common polyphenol of plant origin known for its cancer prevention and other properties. Its wider application is limited due to poor water solubility, low stability, and weak bioavailability. To overcome these limitations, a series of 13 novel resveratrol triesters were synthesized previously. In this paper, we describe the synthesis of 3 additional derivatives and the activity of all 16 against primary acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells. Of these, 3 compounds were more potent than resveratrol (IC50?=?10.5?μM) namely: resveratryl triacetate (IC50?=?3.4?μM), resveratryl triisobutyrate (IC50?=?5.1?μM), and resveratryl triisovalerate (IC50?=?4.9?μM); all other derivatives had IC50 values of >10?μM. Further studies indicated that the active compounds caused G1 phase arrest, increased expression of p53, and induced characteristics of apoptotic cell death. Moreover, the compounds were only effective in cycling cells, with cells arrested in G1 phase being refractory.

The famous Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction is extensively used both in the laboratory and industry to manufacture tons of widely-used organophosphoryl compounds every year. However, this method and the modified Michaelis-Arbuzov reactions developed recently still have some limitations. We now report a new alcohol-version of the Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction that can provide an efficient and environmentally-benign method to address the problems of the known Michaelis-Arbuzov reactions. That is, a wide range of alcohols can readily react with phosphites, phosphonites, and phosphinites to give all the three kinds of phosphoryl compounds (phosphonates, phosphinates, and phosphine oxides) using an n-Bu4NI-catalyzed efficient C-P(O) bond formation reaction. This general method can also be easily scaled up and used for further synthetic transformations in one pot.

The invention discloses a synthetic method for alkyl group phosphorous acid diester compounds or alkyl group phosphinic acid ester compounds. According to the synthetic method, alcohols which are cheap, easy to get, wide in source, stable and low in toxicity serve as alkylating reagents, iodine salt which is cheap and easy to get serves as catalysts, no solvent is needed, and the alkyl group phosphorous acid diester compounds can be selectively directly obtained after a reaction. The reaction method is simple, the condition is mild, no organic solvent is needed and operation is simple. According to the method, the requirements for reaction conditions are low, various types of alcohols such as a benzyl group type, an allyl type and a fat type can be utilized as the alkylate reagents to implement the synthesis of different types of substituted alkyl group phosphorous acid diester, and the method can be further expanded to the synthesis of the alkyl group phosphinic acid ester compounds through the reaction between the substituted phosphonous acid diester and the alcohols.

Batatasins are endogenous plant hormones found in yams and other related plant species. These plants are widely consumed as botanical dietary supplements in many parts of the world. This study investigated the inhibitory effects and mechanisms of Batatasin I, III, IV, V against α-glucosidase regarding their antidiabetic activities. The results revealed that Batatasin I, III, IV inhibited α-glucosidase in a reversible and noncompetitive manner, with IC50 values of 2.55, 1.89 and 2.52 mM respectively, while Batatasin V completely abolished its inhibitory activity even at the highest concentrations tested. Furthermore, a class of Batatasin-derived compounds with different substitution patterns was synthesized and subjected to the assay to clarify the structure-activity relationships, which suggested that the hydroxyl at the C-2′ position may play a significant role in improving the inhibitory activities. Their probable binding modes and the specificity of the binding sites were studied using molecule docking simulation. It was concluded that Batatasins, especially Batatasin III and IV, are promising α-glucosidase inhibitors, which therefore could be used as functional food to alleviate postprandial hyperglycemia and as potential candidates for the development of antidiabetic agents.

It has been reported that resveratrol enhanced SIRT1 expression and significantly mimicked calorie restriction by stimulating Sir2 which is the most homologic homologue of SIRT1 of mammalian. A series of novel resveratrol derivatives were designed and synthesized as novel SIRT1 activator candidates. These synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral (1H NMR) analysis and examined for their Sir2 activation against yeast parental strain-BY4743 at a concentration of 100 μM/L by Bioscreen C MBR machine. Several compounds showed a promising Sir2 activation activity compared with resveratrol. Meanwhile, the structure-activity relationships with Sirt2 activation activities were also discussed.

A small-molecule natural product, euodenine A (1), was identified as an agonist of the human TLR4 receptor. Euodenine A was isolated from the leaves of Euodia asteridula (Rutaceae) found in Papua New Guinea and has an unusual U-shaped structure. It was synthesized along with a series of analogues that exhibit potent and selective agonism of the TLR4 receptor. SAR development around the cyclobutane ring resulted in a 10-fold increase in potency. The natural product demonstrated an extracellular site of action, which requires the extracellular domain of TLR4 to stimulate a NF-κB reporter response. 1 is a human-selective agonist that is CD14-independent, and it requires both TLR4 and MD-2 for full efficacy. Testing for immunomodulation in PBMC cells shows the induction of the cytokines IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α, and IL-12p40 as well as suppression of IL-5 from activated PBMCs, indicating that compounds like 1 could modulate the Th2 immune response without causing lung damage.

This paper presents a range of novel new branched conjugated dyes containing benzophenone moiety. As compared with those of 4-(p-benzoyl-styrene) yl-4′-(styrene)yl-triphenylamine (C1) and 4-(p-benzoyl-styrene)yl- 4′-3,4,5-trimethoxyl-styrene)yl-triphenylamine (C2), the maximal linear absorption and emission wavelength of 4-(p-benzoyl-styrene)yl-4′- (p′-nitro-styrene)yl-triphenylamine (C3) displays red-shifted remarkably, While the fluorescence quantum yields of C3 are lower than those of C1 and C2 in various solvents. The fluorescence lifetimes of the derivatives were measured, and radiative and non-radiative transition constants of the derivatives were calculated. Two-photon absorption (TPA) optical data of the derivatives were measured by Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser tuning from 720 to 880 nm at intervals of 20 nm. TPA induced fluorescence emission of C3 is red-shifted with respected to that of C1 and C2. TPA cross sections of C3 are larger than those of C1 and C2 in various excited laser frequencies. TPA cross section of C2 and C3 are much larger than those of 3,4,5-(trimethoxylstyrene)yl-triphenylamine (C4) and 4-(p-nitrostyrene)yl-triphenylamine (C5) respectively under various near-IR Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser wavelength. C1 and C2 show similar one- and two- photon optical nature. Geometry optimization with ab initio method confirms that C3 has different electron density distribution, the energy levels in frontier orbitals, the dipole moment changes, the absorption and emission spectroscopy from those of C1 and C2. The cyclic voltammograms of the derivatives were detected in methylene chloride at various scan rates, and the energy of frontier orbials were estimated further from the redox potentials.

experimental part, p. 5321 - 5333 (2011/10/13)
Resveratrol (1) is a naturally occurring phytoalexin that affects a variety of human disease models, including cardio- and neuroprotection, immune regulation, and cancer chemoprevention. One of the possible mechanisms by which resveratrol affects these disease states is by affecting the cellular signaling network involving protein kinase C alpha (PKCα). PKCα is a member of the family of serine/threonine kinases, whose activity is inhibited by resveratrol. To study the structure-activity relationship, several monoalkoxy, dialkoxy and hydroxy analogs of resveratrol have been synthesized, tested for their cytotoxic effects on HEK293 cells, measured their effects on the membrane translocation properties of PKCα in the presence and absence of the PKC activator TPA, and studied their binding with the activator binding domain of PKCα. The analogs showed less cytotoxic effects on HEK293 cells and caused higher membrane translocation (activation) than that of resveratrol. Among all the analogs, 3, 16 and 25 showed significantly higher activation than resveratrol. Resveratrol analogs, however, inhibited phorbol ester-induced membrane translocation, and the inhibition was less than that of resveratrol. Binding studies using steady state fluorescence spectroscopy indicated that resveratrol and the analogs bind to the second cysteine-rich domain of PKCα. The molecular docking studies indicated that resveratrol and the analogs interact with the protein by forming hydrogen bonds through its hydroxyl groups. These results signify that molecules developed on a resveratrol scaffold can attenuate PKCα activity and this strategy can be used to regulate various disease states involving PKCα.

body text, p. 333 - 337 (2010/04/02)
A new methodology named solid-phase reactive chromatography (SPRC), which combines reaction, separation, and purification into a single unit for the preparation of small samples, is described. This method was illustrated in the synthesis of some natural bioactive compounds, namely, methoxylated analogues of resveratrol, alkylresorcinols, and 5-aryl-2,4-pentadienoates, over a column of alumina-KF under microwave irradiation by using the Wittig and HornerEmmons reactions. This approach permitted the preparation of the target olefins with high purity and good to excellent yields in short reaction times.

A variety of new conjugated dyes bearing a benzophenone unit were synthesized, and the linear absorption and emission were determined. Two-photon absorption properties of the derivatives have been measured by a Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser tuning from 720 to 880 nm at intervals of 20 nm. One- and two-photon optical properties of the derivatives were found to be significantly dependent on their chemical structures.
