Proanthocyanidin, an oligomer of catechin, is a natural antioxidant and a potent inhibitor of lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor-1, which is involved in the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis. We synthesized proanthocyanidin analogue 1, in which the geometry of one catechin molecule in procyanidin B3, a dimer of (+)-catechin, is constrained to be planar. The antioxidant activities of the compounds were evaluated in terms of their capacities to scavenge galvinoxyl radicals, and results demonstrate that while procyanidin was 3.8 times more potent than (+)-catechin, the radical scavenging activity of proanthocyanidin analogue 1 was further increased to 1.9 times that of procyanidin B3. This newly designed proanthocyanidin analogue 1 may be a promising lead compound for the treatment of arteriosclerosis and related cerebrovascular diseases.

O-Benzylation of phloroglucinol, which was difficult due to C-benzylation, was successfully carried out by a method using phloroglucinol triacetate as an intermediate.

An efficient first total synthesis of highly polar ulmoside A and (2 R,3 R)-taxifolin-6- C -β- d -glucopyranoside, useful for the prevention of metabolic disorders, has been described. Key elements of the synthesis include a Sc(OTf) 3-catalyzed regio- and stereoselective C -glycosidation on taxifolin in 35percent yield with d -glucose and chiral semipreparative reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the separation of both taxifolins and the diastereomeric mixture of taxifolin-6- C -β- d -glucopyranosides. Correlation of the analytical data of synthetic ulmoside A and its diastereomer with a natural ulmoside A sample confirmed the assigned absolute stereochemistry of the natural products.

Proanthocyanidins are oligomers of catechins that exhibit potent antioxidative activity and inhibit binding of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) to the lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor (LOX-1), which is involved in the onset and development of arteriosclerosis. Previous attempts aimed at developing proanthocyanidin derivatives with more potent antioxidative activity and stronger inhibition for LOX-1 demonstrated the synthesis of a novel proanthocyanidin derivative (1), in which the geometry of one catechin molecule in procyanidin B3 was constrained to a planar orientation. The radical scavenging activity of 1 was 1.9-fold higher than that of procyanidin B3. Herein, we synthesized another procyanidin B3 analogue (2), in which the geometries of both catechin molecules in the dimer were constrained to planar orientations. The radical scavenging activity of 2 was 1.5-fold higher than that of 1, suggesting that 2 may be a more effective candidate than 1 as a therapeutic agent to reduce oxidative stress induced in arteriosclerosis or related cerebrovascular disease.
