Abstract: Two new tri-ferulates of sucrose, firmosides A and B (1 and 2, respectively), together with 18 known compounds (3–20), were isolated from the aerial parts of Silene firma. The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by various spectroscopic methods, including 1D, 2D NMR, and high-resolution electro-spray ionization–mass spectrometry (HR-ESI–MS). All the isolated compounds were evaluated for their free radical scavenging activity using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical. As a result, two new compounds (1, 2) and 11 demonstrated significant radical scavenging activity, implying the usefulness as antioxidant agents.

Chemoprotective properties of phenylpropenoids, bis(benzylidene)cycloalkanones, and related Michael reaction acceptors: Correlation of potencies as phase 2 enzyme inducers and radical scavengers

Induction of phase 2 enzymes (e.g., glutathione transferases, NAD(P)H:quinone reductase, glucuronosyltransferases, epoxide hydrolase) is a major strategy for reducing the susceptibility of animal cells to neoplasia and other forms of electrophile toxicity. In a search for new chemoprotective enzyme inducers, a structure-activity analysis was carried out on two types of naturally occurring and synthetic substituted phenylpropenoids: (a) Ar- CH=CH-CO-R, where R is OH, OCH3, CH3, or Ar, including cinnamic, coumaric, ferulic, and sinapic acid derivatives, their ketone analogues, and chalcones; and (b) bis(benzylidene)cycloalkanones, Ar-CH=C(CH2)(n)(CO)C=CH-Ar, where n = 5, 6, or 7. The potencies of these compounds in inducing NAD(P)H:quinone reductase activity in murine hepatoma cells paralleled their Michael reaction acceptor activity (Talalay, P.; De Long, M. J.; Prochaska, H. J. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 85, 1988, 8261-8265). Unexpectedly, the bis(benzylidene)cycloalkanones also powerfully quenched the lucigenin- derived chemiluminescence evoked by superoxide radicals. Introduction of o- hydroxyl groups on the aromatic rings of these phenylpropenoids dramatically enhanced their potencies not only as inducers for quinone reductase but also as quenchers of superoxide. These potentiating o-hydroxyl groups are hydrogen-bonded, as shown by moderate down field shift of their proton NMR resonances and their sensitivities to the solvent environment. The finding that the potencies of a series of bis(benzylidene)cycloalkanones in inducing quinone reductase appear to be correlated with their ability to quench superoxide radicals suggests that the regulation of phase 2 enzymes may involve both Michael reaction reactivity and radical quenching mechanisms.

The (±)-3-methoxybenzodioxane-4,9,9'-triol neolignan 9, and methyl ethers of isoamericanol A 8 and isoamericanin A 7 were synthesized from the readily available materials caffeic acid and ferulic acid, using a coupling reaction as a key step.

Three diacylated anthocyanins were isolated from Brassica oleracea and their structures determined to be 3-O-(6-O-acyl-2-O-(2-O-sinapyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-5-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)cyanidins, in wich the acyl groups were p-coumaryl, ferulyl, and sinapyl, respectively.
IN VITRO PEROXIDASE-CATALYSED OXIDATION OF FERULIC ASID ESTERS
Wallace, Graham,Fry, Stephen C.
, p. 1293 - 1300 (1995)
Methyl ferulate, a model feruloyl ester, was reacted with H2O2 and peroxidase in order to simulate the possible fate of such esters in the primary cell wall.The major dimeric product was identified as a cyclic dimer with a β-5 linkage and an α-O-4-linkage.This compound, which exceeded the yield of 5,5'-dehydrodiferulic acid dimethyl ester, could arise by nucleophilic substitution of an intermediary β-5 quinone methide with the neighbouring phenolic hydroxyl group.Inclusion in the reaction mixture of high concentrations of sugars as alternative nucleophiles, such as would occur in the plant cell wall, resulted in very little or no bonding of aromatic material to the sugar.In contrast to these in vitro findings, 5,5'-dehydrodiferulate is the only oxidatively-coupled dimer of ferulate to have been reported in vivo, the apparent formation of ether bonds between ferulate oxidation products and cell wall polysaccharides has been reported.Mechanisms are proposed which may facilitate bonding of ferulate-derived quinone methides to carbohydrates in vivo. - Key words: methyl ferulate; peroxidase; oxidation; plant cell walls.

, p. 96 - 99 (2014)
A bioassay-guided fractionation and chemical investigation of the MeOH extract of Raphanus sativus seeds resulted in the isolation and identification of eight phenylpropanoid sucrosides (1-8) including two new compounds, named raphasativuside A and B (1-2) from the most active CHCl3-soluble fraction. The structures of these new compounds were elucidated through spectral analysis, including extensive 2D-NMR data, and chemical reaction experiments. We evaluated the anti-inflammatory effects of 1-8 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine microglia BV2 cells. Compounds 2 and 5 exhibited significant inhibitory effect on nitric oxide production in LPS-activated BV-2 cells with IC50 values of 21.63 and 26.96 μM, respectively. All isolates were also evaluated for their antiproliferative activities against four human tumor cell lines (A549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, and HCT-15). Compounds 1-7 showed consistent cytotoxicity against A549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, and HCT-15 cell lines with IC50 values of 6.71-27.92 μM. Additionally, the free-radical scavenging activity of 1-8 was assessed using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay where compounds 1, 3, and 4 scavenged DPPH radical strongly with IC50 values of 23.05, 27.10, and 29.63 μg/mL, respectively.

Erythro- 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2- (4-formyl-2-methoxy-phenoxy)-propane-1,3-diol, a 8-0-4′ norneolignan, has been stereoselectively synthesized in eight steps from ferulic acid. In this new route to prepare erythro 8-0-4′ neolignans the cis addition of mCPBA to a double bond with high regioselectivity was a key step, and its mechanism is discussed.

A thorough study on the (E) to (Z) photoisomerization of ferulic acid derivatives (esters, amides of all types, and ketones) was carried out. At the photostationary state, only aliphatic or benzylic tertiary amides reach a nearly complete conversion of (E) isomers into the (Z) ones, whereas for esters, primary and secondary amides or aromatic tertiary amides mixtures of (Z)/(E) ranging from 7 : 93 to 72 : 28 are observed. Ketones show rather limited photoisomerization. However, (Z) ketones may be obtained by the reaction of organometal compounds with an isomerized (Z) Weinreb amide.
