ANTI-AGING AGENT CONTAINING ARCTIGENIN DERIVATIVE
-
Paragraph 0138, (2015/04/15)
An arctigenin derivative used for anti-aging treatment, including protection of the skin from the sun and recovery of skin elasticity. A variety of fatty acid ester derivatives, alcohol ether derivatives and alkylated derivatives are used as the arctigenin derivatives. Agents for controlling ET-1 production, elastase inhibitors, and anti-inflammatory agents are prepared. Such arctigenin derivatives are particularly useful as an external agent for the skin, such as an anti-inflammatory external agent, a sunscreen external agent, or an external agent for recovering elasticity.

A series of new arctigenin and 9-deoxy-arctigenin derivatives bearing different ester and ether side chains at the phenolic hydroxyl positions are designed, synthesized, and evaluated for activating AMPK potency in L6 myoblasts. Initial biological evaluation indicates that some alkyl ester and phenethyl ether arctigenin derivatives display potential activities in AMPK phosphorylation improvement. Further structure-activity relationship analysis shows that arctigenin ester derivatives 3a, 3h and 9-deoxy-arctigenin phenethyl ether derivatives 6a, 6c, 6d activate AMPK more potently than arctigenin. Moreover, the 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl ether moiety of 6c has been demonstrated as a potential functional group to improve the effect of AMPK phosphorylation. The structural optimization of arctigenin leads to the identification of 6c as a promising lead compound that exhibits excellent activity in AMPK activation.
