Synthesis of procyanidin B1, B2, and B4 and their anti-inflammatory activity: The effect of 4-alkoxy group of catechin and/or epicatechin electrophiles for condensation

Abstract: Procyanidin B1, B2, and B3 were synthesized based on a Yb(OTf)3 catalyzed equimolar condensation using methoxy and/or 4-(2-ethoxyethoxy) drivatives as electrophiles. The anti-inflammatory effect of synthetic procyanidin B1, B2, and B4 on 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced inflammation of mouse ears was examined. Procyanidin B1, B2, B 4 suppressed TPA-induced inflammation of mouse ears by 48%, 34%, and 29%, respectively, at a dose of 200 μg. Their activities are stronger than those of indomethacin and glycyrrhetinic acid, the normally used antiinflammatory agent.
