A number of 2,4-thiazolidinedione derivatives of -phenyl substituted cinnamic acid were synthesized and studied for their PPAR agonist activity. The E-isomer of cinnamic acid, 11, showed moderate PPAR transactivation. The corresponding Z-isomer, 23, and d

A series of hydroxystilbenes, analogues of the bioactive phytoalexin resveratrol, were synthesized and submitted to the catalytic action of a laccase from Trametes pubescens in a biphasic system made of ethyl acetate and acetate buffer. Oxidation took place at the 4′-hydroxy (4-hydroxy) position of the hydroxystilbenic moieties, followed by radical-radical coupling dimerization reactions. Most of the products were isolated in good yields and fully characterized. Depending on the substrates, three different dimeric products could be identified, the main products usually being 4-O-α-β-5 (dihydrofuran-like) dimers.
