Systematic cascading of molecular logic gates is an important issue to be addressed for advancing research in this field. We have demonstrated that photochemically triggered metal ion signals can be utilized towards that goal. Thus, independent logic gates were shown to work together while keeping their identity in more complex logic designs. Communication through the intermediacy of ion signals is clearly inspired from biological processes modulated by such signals, and implemented here with ion responsive molecules.

The development of vasorelaxant as the antihypertensive drug is important as it produces a rapid and direct relaxation effect on the blood vessel muscles. Resveratrol (RV), as the most widely studied stilbenoid and the lead compound, inducing the excellent vasorelaxation effect through the multiple signalling pathways. In this study, the in vitro vascular response of the synthesized trans-stilbenoid derivatives, SB 1-8e were primarily evaluated by employing the phenylephrine (PE)-precontracted endothelium-intact isolated aortic rings. Herein we report trans-3,4,4′-trihydroxystilbene (SB 8b) exhibited surprisingly more than 2-fold improvement to the maximal relaxation (Rmax) of RV. This article also highlights the characterization of the aromatic protons in terms of their unique splitting patterns in 1H NMR.

A series of new (-)-arctigenin derivatives with variably modified O-alkyl groups were synthesized and their preferential cytotoxicity was evaluated against human pancreatic cancer cell line PANC-1 under nutrient-deprived conditions. The results showed that monoethoxy derivative 4i (PC50, 0.49 μM), diethoxy derivative 4h (PC50, 0.66 μM), and triethoxy derivative 4m (PC50, 0.78 μM) showed the preferential cytotoxicities under nutrient-deprived conditions, which were identical to or more potent than (-)-arctigenin (1) (PC50, 0.80 μM). Among them, we selected the triethoxy derivative 4m and examined its in vivo antitumor activity using a mouse xenograft model. Triethoxy derivative 4m exhibited also in vivo antitumor activity with the potency identical to or slightly more than (-)-arctigenin (1). These results would suggest that a modification of (-)-arctigenin structure could lead to a new drug based on the antiausterity strategy.
