Synthesis of benzylideneacetophenones and their inhibition of lipid peroxidation

A series of benzylideneacetophenone derivatives have been synthesized and found to show potent inhibition of the lipid peroxidation (LPO) in rat liver microsomes. All 19 compounds prepared in this series are LPO inhibitors. The highest activity was found

TPA-induced up-regulation of activator protein-1 can be inhibited or enhanced by analogs of the natural product curcumin

The activator protein-1 (AP-1) family of transcription factors, including the most common member c-Jun-c-Fos, participates in regulation of expression of numerous genes involved in proliferation, apoptosis, and tumorigenesis in response to a wide array of stimuli including pro-inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, stress, and tumor promoters. A number of plant polyphenols including curcumin, a yellow compound in the spice turmeric, have been shown to inhibit the activation of AP-1. Curcumin is a polyphenolic dienone that is potentially reactive as a Michael acceptor and also is a strong anti-oxidant. Multiple activities reported for curcumin, including inhibition of the stress-induced activation of AP-1, have been suggested to involve the anti-oxidant properties of curcumin. In the present study, a library of analogs of curcumin was screened for activity against the TPA-induced activation of AP-1 using the Panomics AP-1 Reporter 293 stable cell line which is designed for screening potential inhibitors. Numerous analogs were identified that were more active than curcumin, including analogs that were not anti-oxidants and analogs that were not Michael acceptors. Clearly, anti-oxidant activity or reactivity as a Michael acceptor is not an essential feature of active compounds. In addition, a number of analogs were identified that enhanced the TPA-induced activation of AP-1. The results from screening were confirmed using BV-2 microglial cells where curcumin and analogs were shown to inhibit LPS-induced COX-2 expression; analogs identified as more potent than curcumin in the screening assay were also more potent than curcumin in preventing COX-2 expression.

Anti-oxidant activities of curcumin and related enones

The natural product curcumin (diferuloylmethane, 1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3- methoxyphenyl)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione), obtained from the spice turmeric, exhibits numerous biological activities including anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-angiogenesis activities. Some of these biological activities may derive from its anti-oxidant properties. There are conflicting reports concerning the structural/electronic basis of the anti-oxidant activity of curcumin. Curcumin is a symmetrical diphenolic dienone. A series of enone analogues of curcumin were synthesized that included: (1) curcumin analogues that retained the 7-carbon spacer between the aryl rings; (2) curcumin analogues with a 5-carbon spacer; and (3) curcumin analogues with a 3-carbon spacer (chalcones). These series included members that retained or were devoid of phenolic groups. Anti-oxidant activities were determined by the TRAP assay and the FRAP assay. Most of the analogues with anti-oxidant activity retained the phenolic ring substituents similar to curcumin. However, a number of analogues devoid of phenolic substituents were also active; these non-phenolic analogues are capable of forming stable tertiary carbon-centered radicals.

Microwave-Accelerated SPOT-synthesis on cellulose supports

Equation presented. We demonstrate that microwave irradiation can dramatically accelerate reaction rates for spatially addressable library synthesis on planar membrane supports. The development of a robust support/linker system, microwave-assisted synthesis of small molecule test libraries, and methods for solid-phase scale-up on cellulose are described.
