, p. 229 - 232 (1998)
From the aerial parts of Pepermia obtusifolia, five phenolic compounds bearing a methyl, an isoprenyl and a geranyl group on a benzene ring core have been isolated. The structures were determined by the spectroscopic analysis including 2D NMR techniques and synthesis.
Solid-phase synthesis of β-mono-substituted ketones and an application to the synthesis of a library of phlorizin derivatives

We describe a novel reaction sequence for the solid-phase synthesis of β-mono-substituted ketones. The methodology involves an aldol condensation reaction, followed by reduction of the resultant double bond and allows the introduction of a range of alkyl chains to solid-linked ketones at α position. Using the methodology we accomplished the synthesis of phlorizin library of 132 compounds using 43 aldehydes and four glycosyl bromides.

Eight fungal strains (Penicillium raistrickii CBMAI 931, Cladosporium sp. CBMAI 1237, Aspergillus sydowii CBMAI 935, Penicillium oxalicum CBMAI 1996, Penicillium citrinum CBMAI 1186, Mucor racemosus CBMAI 847, Westerdykella sp. CBMAI 1679, and Aspergillus sclerotiorum CBMAI 849) mediated the biotransformation of the 2′-hydroxychalcone 1a. The main products obtained were from hydrogenation, hydroxylation, and cyclization reactions. Penicillium raistrickii CBMAI 931 catalyzed the chemoselective reduction of 1a to produce 2′-hydroxydihydrochalcone 2a (72%) in 7 days of incubation in phosphate buffer (pH 7). Aspergillus sydowii CBMAI 935 promoted the hydroxylation of 1a to yield 2′,4-dihydroxy-dihydrochalcone 5a (c = 42%) in 7 days of incubation in phosphate buffer (pH 8). The reaction using P. citrinum CBMAI 1186 and M. racemosus CBMAI 847 presented main cyclization products in phosphate buffer (pH 8), but the reactions with these fungi did not present enantioselectivity. Marine-derived fungi were effective and versatile biocatalysts for biotransformation of the 2′-hydroxychalcones yielding different products according to the conditions and microorganism used.

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors and neurite outgrowth promoters are thought to alleviate the symptoms of degenerative brain disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. We designed and synthesized a series of homoisoflavonoids based on the structure of natural homoisoflavan isolated from Dracaena cambodiana dragon's blood. The homoisoflavonoids were then evaluated as AChE inhibitors and neurite outgrowth promoters. The catechol structure of the homoisoflavan B rings was important for AChE inhibition, and some of the homoisoflavonoids significantly promoted neurite outgrowth induced by nerve growth factor (NGF).
