Three novel colorimetric and ratiometric probes (SH-1~3) for fluoride ion detection were designed and synthesized from nature small molecules. Obvious yellow-to-orange color change of these probes in the THF was achieved only in presence of F?

On the basis of the hybridization strategy of natural products, a total of 32 novel celastrol hybrids were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antitumor activities. Most of these derivatives exihibited significant antiproliferative activities compared to celastrol, among which compound 29 displayed the strongest inhibitory capability [IC50 = 0.15 ± 0.03 μM (A549),0.17 ± 0.03 μM (MCF-7), 0.26 ± 0.02 μM (HepG2)], which exhibited equal or superior anti-cancer activities in comparison to 2-cyano-3,12-dioxoolean-1,9 (11)-dien-28-oic acid methyl ester (CDDO-Me). The mechanism of pharmacological research indicated that 29 possessed the ability to disrupt Hsp90-Cdc37 complex which was stronger than celastrol. Meanwhile, compound 29 could induce abnormal regulation of clients (p-Akt and Cdk4) of Hsp90 and cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, compound 29 could also induce cell apoptosis through the death receptor pathway on A549 cells. Taken together, our results demonstrated that 29 might be a promising novel candidate for further druggability research.

Candida albicans is an important opportunistic fungal pathogen capable of provoking infection in humans. In the present study, we evaluated the antifungal effect of 23 ester derivatives of the cinnamic and benzoic acids against 3 C. albicans strains (ATCC-76645, LM-106 and LM-23), as well as discuss their Structure–Activity Relationship (SAR). The antifungal assay results revealed that the screened compounds exhibited different levels of activity depending on structural variation. Among the ester analogues, methyl caffeate (5) and methyl 2-nitrocinnamate (10) were the analogues that presented the best antifungal effect against all C. albicans strains, presenting the same MIC values (MIC?=?128?μg/mL), followed by methyl biphenyl-2-carboxylate (21) (MIC?=?128, 128 and 256?μg/mL for C. albicans LM-106, LM-23, and ATCC-76645, respectively). Our results suggest that certain molecular characteristics are important for the antifungal action.
The synthesis and analysis of advanced lignin model polymers

If the lignin-first biorefinery concept becomes a reality, high quality lignins close in structure to native lignins will become available in large quantities. One potential way to utilise this renewable material is through depolymerisation to aromatic chemicals. This will require the development of new chemical methods. Here, we report the synthesis and characterisation of advanced lignin model polymers to be used as tools to develop these methods. The controlled incorporation of the major linkages in lignin is demonstrated to give complex hardwood and softwood lignin model polymers. These polymers have been characterised by 2D HSQC NMR and GPC analysis and have been compared to isolated lignins.

experimental part, p. 5142 - 5151 (2012/10/07)
Chemical interaction between polyphenols and thiols was investigated under radical oxidation conditions using a model cysteinyl thiol derivative, N-benzoylcysteine methyl ester. The radical oxidation was carried out with a stoichiometric amount of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and the decreases in the amounts of polyphenols and the thiol were measured by HPLC analysis. Cross-coupling products between various polyphenols and the thiol were examined by LC-MS in reactions that showed decreases in both the polyphenols and the thiol. The LC-MS results indicated that three phenolic acid esters (methyl caffeate, methyl dihydrocaffeate, and methyl protocatechuate) and six flavonoids (kaempferol, myricetin, luteolin, morin, taxifolin, and catechin) gave corresponding thiol adducts, whereas three polyphenols (methyl ferulate, methyl sinapate, and quercetin) gave only dimers or simple oxidation products without thiol substituents. Thiol adducts of the structurally related compounds methyl caffeate and methyl dihydrocaffeate were isolated, and their chemical structures were determined by NMR analysis. The mechanism for the thiol addition was discussed on the basis of the structures of the products.

In this study, dehydrogenative polymers (DHP) were synthesized in vitro through dehydrogenative polymerization using different ratios of coniferyl alcohol (CA) and sinapyl alcohol (SA) (10:0, 8:2, 6:4, 2:8, 0:10), in order to investigate the monolignol coupling mechanism in the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), Coprinus cinereus peroxidase (CiP) or soybean peroxidase (SBP) with H2O2, respectively. The turnover capacities of HRP, CiP and SBP were also measured for coniferyl alcohol (CA) and sinapyl alcohol (SA), and CiP and SBP were found to have the highest turnover capacity for CA and SA, respectively. The yields of HRP-catalyzed DHP (DHP-H) and CiP-catalyzed DHP (DHP-C) were estimated between ca. 7% and 72% based on the original weights of CA/SA in these synthetic conditions. However, a much lower yield of SBP-catalyzed DHP (DHP-S) was produced compared to that of DHP-H and DHP-C. In general, the DHP yields gradually increased as the ratio of CA/SA increased. The average molecular weight of DHP-H also increased with increasing CA/SA ratios, while those of DHP-C and DHP-S were not influenced by the ratios of monolignols. The frequency of β-O-4 linkages in the DHPs decreased with increasing CA/SA ratios, indicating that the formation of β-O-4 linkages during DHP synthesis was influenced by peroxidase type.

experimental part, p. 147 - 153 (2011/10/08)
From the 1-BuOH-soluble fraction of a MeOH extract of leaves of Croton cascarilloides, collected in Okinawa, Japan, seven megastigmane glycosides, named crotonionosides A-G, were isolated together with three known megastigmane glucosides, dendranthemosides A and B, and citroside A. This structures were elucidated by a combination of spectroscopic analyses, HPLC analyses, and application of the modified Mosher's method.

body text, p. 3856 - 3860 (2011/08/06)
The possibility to afford by a biomimetic reaction 'unnatural' products, which could offer a better bioactivity profile than natural analogues, is outlined and the first applications to the synthesis of lignans and related compounds have been reported. Here we describe the synthesis of new heterodimers, having a phenylcoumaran skeleton, by horseradish peroxidase catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of methyl esters of substituted hydroxycinnamic acids.
