Total Synthesis of (+)-Rubellin C

The rubellins are a family of stereochemically complex anthraquinoid heterodimers containing an unprecedented chemical scaffold. Although the rubellins have been known for over three decades, no total synthesis has been achieved since their discovery. The

Design, synthesis, and preliminary biological evaluation of 3′,4′,5′-trimethoxy flavonoid salicylate derivatives as potential anti-tumor agents

According to the pharmacophore combination principle, a set of new 3′,4′,5′-trimethoxy flavonoid salicylate derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for biological activity. The cytotoxicity evaluation revealed that compound 10v exhibited higher potency than 5-Fu against HCT-116 cells. Preliminary biological activity studies showed that compound 10v could inhibit the colony formation and migration of HCT-116 cells. Besides, the Hoechst 33258 staining assay and flow cytometry revealed that treatment with compound 10v induced the apoptosis of HCT-116 cells in a concentration-dependent manner, while it had no effect on their cell cycle. The WB analysis suggested that HIF-1α, tubulin, HK-2, and PFK might be the potential pharmacophore targets of compound 10v. Tubulin was a potential drug target for compound 10v, which was explained by analyzing the crystal structure of compound 10v complexed with tubulin. These results indicated that compound 10v might be a promising anti-tumor agent candidate, deserving further optimization and evaluation.

Synthesis and antibacterial activity of emodin and its derivatives against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Synthesis of the antibacterial emodin was improved using Friedel-Crafts acylation as a key step leading to 37% overall yield. In addition, 21 analogues were synthesized by structural modification of the hydroxyl and methyl groups, as well as the aromatic ring of emodin. Antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and cytotoxicity against noncancerous Vero cells were evaluated. A structure-activity relationship (SAR) study indicated that the hydroxyl groups and the methyl group in the emodin skeleton were crucial for anti-MRSA activity. Furthermore, the presence of an iodine atom or ethylamino group on the aromatic ring enhanced the anti-MRSA activity with higher selectivity indices, while derivatives containing bromine, chlorine atoms or quaternary ammonium salt were as active as emodin. The quaternary ammonium group on the aromatic ring also led to non-cytotoxicity against Vero cells.

One-Pot Domino Friedel-Crafts Acylation/Annulation between Alkynes and 2-Methoxybenzoyl Chlorides: Synthesis of 2,3-Disubstituted Chromen-4-one Derivatives

A highly regioselective synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted chromen-4-one derivatives is accomplished from readily available internal alkynes and 2-methoxybenzoyl chlorides. The reaction proceeds via a domino intermolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation/intramolecular vinyl carbocation trapping (or oxa-Michael addition)/demethylation reaction sequence. This Lewis acid promoted method features relatively mild reaction conditions to synthesize a variety of 2,3-disubstituted chromen-4-one derivatives in one pot with up to 93% yield. The chromen-2-one (coumarin) product was obtained when 2,6-dimethoxybenzoyl chloride was used as a starting material via an electrophilic aromatic substitution/rearrangement process.

Total Synthesis of Asperphenins A and B

The first total synthesis of asperphenins A and B has been accomplished in a concise, highly stereoselective fashion from commercially available materials (15 steps, 9.7% and 14.2% overall yields, respectively). The convergent route featured the judicious

A cyclotrimethoxone-substituted salicylate compound and anti-tumor effect thereof

The invention relates to the technical field of medicines, and designs and synthesizes a novel A cyclotrimethoxy 4'-hydroxyflavone compound and an A cyclotrimethoxone-substituted salicylate compound. The figure 1 is a general formula of the A cyclotrimethoxone-substituted salicylate compound, wherein in the formula, R1, R2 and R3 are equal to OCH3 or R2, R3 and R4 are equal to OCH3; R5- is equal to OCH3, CH3, F, Cl, Br, I or the like. The novel A cyclotrimethoxy 4'-hydroxyflavone compound and the A cyclotrimethoxone-substituted salicylate compound can have an obvious inhibiting effect on MGC-803 (human gastric carcinoma cells), HepG2 (human hepatoma carcinoma cells), MCF-7 (human breast cancer cells) and hopefully become anti-tumor drugs. The invention discloses a preparation method of the novel A cyclotrimethoxy 4'-hydroxyflavone compound and the A cyclotrimethoxone-substituted salicylate compound.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of flavonoid salicylate derivatives as potential anti-tumor agents

A series of flavonoid salicylate derivatives containing trimethoxybenzene and a series of chrysin salicylate derivatives were synthesized for use as anti-tumor agents, and evaluated for antiproliferative activity using three human tumor cells: MCF-7 (breast carcinoma cells), HepG2 (liver carcinoma cells), MGC-803 (gastric carcinoma cells) and the mice tumor cells MFC (forestomach carcinoma cells). A substituent group of a suitable size and the trimethoxybenzene had a certain influence on the bioactivity of the flavonoid salicylate derivatives. Compound 2 and its salicylate derivatives 7a-7g containing the trimethoxybenzene exhibited more antiproliferative activity. Among them, compound 7g displayed the most potent antiproliferative activity against MGC-803 cells and MFC cells with the concentration causing 50% inhibition of cell growth (IC50) values of 11.05 ± 1.58 μM and 13.73 ± 2.04 μM, respectively. The flow cytometry results showed that compound 7g caused the cell cycle to be arrested in the G0/G1 phase and induced apoptosis of MFC cells in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, compound 7g showed good anti-tumor activity in vivo. These results suggested that compound 7g could be a new, potent anti-tumor candidate which should be optimized and evaluated further.

Efficient synthesis of anacardic acid analogues and their antibacterial activities

Anacardic acid derivatives exhibit a broad range of biological activities. In this report, an efficient method for the synthesis of anacardic acid derivatives was explored, and a small set of salicylic acid variants synthesised retaining a constant hydrophobic element (a naphthyl tail). The naphthyl side chain was introduced via Wittig reaction and the aldehyde installed using directed ortho-metalation reaction of the substituted o-anisic acids. The failure of ortho-metalation using unprotected carboxylic acid group compelled us to use directed ortho-metalation in which a tertiary amide was used as a strong ortho-directing group. In the initial route, tertiary amide cleavage during final step was challenging, but cleaving the tertiary amide before Wittig reaction was beneficial. The Wittig reaction with protected carboxylic group (methyl ester) resulted in side-products whereas using sodium salt resulted in higher yields. The novel compounds were screened for antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity. Although substitution on the salicylic head group enhanced antibacterial activities they also enhanced cytotoxicity.
