Synthesis, antiepileptic effects, and structure-activity relationships of α-asarone derivatives: In vitro and in vivo neuroprotective effect of selected derivatives

In the present study, we compared the antiepileptic effects of α-asarone derivatives to explore their structure-activity relationships using the PTZ-induced seizure model. Our research revealed that electron-donating methoxy groups in the 3,4,5-position on phenyl ring increased antiepileptic potency but the placement of other groups at different positions decreased activity. Besides, in allyl moiety, the optimal activity was reached with either an allyl or a 1-butenyl group in conjugation with the benzene ring. The compounds 5 and 19 exerted better neuroprotective effects against epilepsy in vitro (cell) and in vivo (mouse) models. This study provides valuable data for further exploration and application of these compounds as potential anti-seizure medicines.

Radical Cation Diels-Alder Reactions by TiO2 Photocatalysis

Radical cation Diels-Alder reactions by titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalysis in lithium perchlorate/nitromethane solution are described. TiO2 photocatalysis promotes reactions between electron-rich dienes and dienophiles, which would otherwise be difficult to accomplish due to electronic mismatching. The reactions are triggered by hole oxidation of the dienophile and are completed by the excited electron reduction of the radical cation intermediate at the dispersed surface in the absence of any sacrificial substrate.

An effective system to synthesize hypolipidemic active α-asarone and related methoxylated (E)-arylalkenes

Methoxylated (E)-arylalkenes (1a-1k) were prepared in two steps by an improved Grignard reaction comprising the reverse addition of alkylmagnesium bromide to benzaldehydes (2a-2k) in anhydrous ether and toluene into arylalkanols (3a-3k) in high yield, followed by dehydration with silica gel under microwave irradiation for 3-12 min, depending upon the substituents attached to the aromatic ring to afford hypolipidemic active α-asarone (1a) and related methoxylated (E)-arylalkenes (1b-1k).

Feeding-deterrent activity of α-asarone isomers against some stored Coleoptera

All isomers of α-asarone [(E)-4-prop-1-enyl-1,2,5-trimethoxybenzene] were tested for their feeding deterrent activity against adults of Sitophilus granarius and Tribolium confusum and larvae of Trogoderma granarium and Tribolium confusum. (E)-2-prop-1-eny

Synthesis and hypolipidemic and antiplatelet activities of α-asarone isomers in humans (in vitro), mice (in vivo), and rats (in vivo)

A series of α-asarone isomers was synthesized and investigated for their hypolipidemic and antiplatelet activity. Considering the hypolipidemic activity in rats at a dose of 80 mg/kg/day, some isomers were more potent than clofibrate at 150 mg/kg. Compoun

Crystal structures of 1,2,5-trimethoxy-3-(1-propenyl)benzene and 1,3,5-trimethoxy-2-(1-propenyl)benzene

The crystal structures of 1,2,5-trimethoxy-3-(1-propenyl)benzene (D) and 1,3,5-trimethoxy-2-(1-propenyl)benzene (F) have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The compounds crystallize in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c for (D)
