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.

The stereoselective total synthesis of (+)-epi-cytoxazone was performed satisfactorily in 8 steps, in 17percent overall yield, via a novel route from 2,3-O-(3-pentylidene)-(R)-glyceraldehyde. The bulky group alkene-ketal allowed intramolecular control of

Bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reactions between triphenylphosphine and benzylic electrophiles have been examined in an ionic liquid to probe interactions with species along the reaction coordinate. Trends in the rate constant were found on both varying the leaving group and the electronic nature of the aromatic ring. In all the cases considered, interactions between the components of the ionic liquid and the transition state were shown to be more significant in determining reaction outcome than previously observed for this class of reaction. This demonstrates the importance of considering interactions of the ionic liquid components with all species along the reaction coordinate when investigating the origin of ionic liquid solvent effects, along with how such effects might be exploited.

A highly diastereo- and enantioselective Ru(II)-catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution-asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (DKR-ATH) of α-(N-sulfonylimino) and α-(N-sulfonylamino) aryl ketones to 4-hydroxy-benzo-δ- and 3-(α-hydroxy-arylmethyl)-benzo-γ-sultams is presented. By employing enantiopure ansa-Ru[PipSO2DPEN(CH2)4Ph] cat. II with S/C = 10 000 in a HCO2H/Et3N binary mix, up to >99.9% ee and dr >99:1 are obtained with 100% conversion under mild conditions. Application to access the stereopure "structurally simplified TsDPEN" N,N-ligand syn-3-(α-aminobenzyl)-benzo-γ-sultam ("syn-ULTAM") and its structural isomer trans-4-amino-3-phenyl-benzo-δ-sultam (trans-4) is demonstrated.

Liver X receptor (LXR) agonists are candidates for the treatment of atherosclerosis via induction of ABCA1 (ATP-binding cassette A1) gene expression, which contributes to reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) and to cholesterol efflux from the liver and intestine. However, LXR agonists also induce genes involved in lipogenesis, such as SREBP-1c (sterol regulatory binding element protein 1c) and FAS (fatty acid synthase), thereby causing an undesirable increase in plasma and hepatic triglyceride (TG) levels. Recent studies indicate that LXRα contributes to lipogenesis in liver, and selective LXRβ activation improves RCT in mice. Therefore, LXRβ-selective agonists are promising candidates to improve atherosclerosis without increasing plasma or hepatic TG levels. However, the ligand-binding domains in the two LXR isoforms α/β share high sequence identity, and few LXR ligands show subtype selectivity. In this study we identified a tetrachlorophthalimide analogue as an LXRβ-selective agonist. Structural development led to (E)-4,5,6,7-tetrachloro-2-(2-styrylphenyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione (24 a), which shows potent and selective LXRβ agonistic activity in reporter gene assays. In binding assays, compound 24 a bound to LXRβ preferentially over LXRα. It also induced the expression of ABCA1 mRNA but not SREBP-1c mRNA in cells. Compound 24 a appears to be a promising lead compound for therapeutic agents to treat atherosclerosis without the side effects induced by LXRα/β dual agonists.

Synthesis of a focussed library of trans-stilbene compounds through Wittig and other base catalysed condensation reactions is presented. The synthesized stilbenes were screened for their inhibitory potential against murine tyrosinase activity to explore the structure activity relationship (SAR). Presence of electron withdrawing group (-CN) at the double bond and hydroxyl group or halogen atom especially at para-position on the aromatic rings was found to significantly elevate the inhibitory activity. Among all the compounds screened, compounds 2, 6, 8, 10, 11, 15 and 21 were found to exhibit appreciable inhibitory activity. Compound 21 ((E)-2,3-bis(4-Hydroxyphenyl)acryonitrile) was found to be the most active with an IC50 value of 5.06 μM which is less than half of the value 10.78 μM observed for resveratrol (common standard used in murine tyrosinase activity studies) under similar conditions. The results obtained from the present study reveal structural/functional group sensitivity for the tyrosinase inhibitory activity of stilbenoid moieties and are expected to be very helpful for the design and synthesis of novel, selective and effective tyrosinase inhibitors.

Anti-inflammatory effects of liver X receptor (LXR) ligands are thought to be largely due to LXR-mediated transrepression, whereas side effects are caused by activation of LXR-responsive gene expression (transactivation). Therefore, selective LXR modulators that preferentially exhibit transrepression activity should exhibit anti-inflammatory properties with fewer side effects. Here, we synthesized a series of styrylphenylphthalimide analogues and evaluated their structure-activity relationships focusing on LXRs-transactivating-agonistic/antagonistic activities and transrepressional activity. Among the compounds examined, 17l showed potent LXR-transrepressional activity with high selectivity over transactivating activity and did not show characteristic side effects of LXR-transactivating agonists in cells. This representative compound, 17l, was confirmed to have LXR-dependent transrepressional activity and to bind directly to LXRβ. Compound 17l should be useful not only as a chemical tool for studying the biological functions of LXRs transrepression but also as a candidate for a safer agent to treat inflammatory diseases.

Eighteen resveratrol-coumarin hybrid compounds (6 or 7-styryl-3- phenylcoumarin) were designed, synthesized and thirteen compounds were evaluated for their antitumor activities against MCF-7, HCT-28, and K562 tumor cell lines. Among them, compounds 2Z, 2E, 5E, and 7E showed varying degrees of growth inhibition of the above cell lines (IC50: 3.78-19.16 μmol/L). On the basis of the biological results, structure-activity relationships were obtained and discussed.

The first total synthesis of the diarylheptanoid acerogenins E and K, isolated from Acer nikoense MAXIM., is described. Formation of the 13-membered m,m-cyclophane skeleton was successfully achieved on the basis of a domino process involving a Miyaura arylborylation-intramolecular Suzuki reaction. The cyclization precursor was prepared via a Wittig reaction and Claisen-Schmidt condensation, which proceeded in moderate yields. The total synthesis of acerogenin G and centrolobol was also achieved from a common synthetic intermediate.
