Inspired by the traditional Chinese herbal pair of Polygala tenuifolia-Acori Tatarinowii for treating epilepsy, 33 novel substituted cinnamic α-asaronol esters and analogues were designed by Combination of Traditional Chinese Medicine Molecular Chemistry (CTCMMC) strategy, synthesized and tested systematically not only for anticonvulsant activity in three mouse models but also for LDH inhibitory activity. Thereinto, 68–70 and 75 displayed excellent and broad spectra of anticonvulsant activities with modest ability in preventing neuropathic pain, as well as low neurotoxicity. The protective indices of these four compounds compared favorably with stiripentol, lacosamide, carbamazepine and valproic acid. 68–70 exhibited good LDH1 and LDH5 inhibitory activities with noncompetitive inhibition type, and were more potent than stiripentol. Notably, 70, as a representative agent, was also shown as a moderately positive allosteric modulator at human α1β2γ2 GABAA receptors (EC50 46.3 ± 7.3 μM). Thus, 68–70 were promising candidates for developing into anti-epileptic drugs, especially for treatment of refractory epilepsies such as Dravet syndrome.

Dihydrochalcones and 5-deoxyflavones are types of compounds possessing various biologically interesting properties. Herein, we report the concise and divergent total syntheses of several naturally occurring dihydrochalcones and 5-deoxyflavones from readily available starting materials. The divergent strategy is based around manipulation of a common chalcone scaffold and features application of Algar-Flynn-Oyamada oxidation and benzoquinone C-H activation methodologies. These are the first reported total syntheses of these biologically interesting compounds and the concise and flexible route should be readily amenable to future analogue generation. Furthermore, this work provides an illustration of the utility of divergent synthesis for the expedient and step-economical preparation of natural product libraries.
