Resveratrol alters the cytokinetics of mammalian cell populations in a dose dependent manner. Concentrations above 25–50 μM typically trigger growth arrest, senescence and/or apoptosis in multiple different cell types. In contrast, concentrations below 10 μM enhance the growth of log phase cell cultures and can rescue senescence in multiple strains of human fibroblasts. To better understand the structural features that regulate these effects, a panel of 24 structurally-related resveralogues were synthesised and evaluated for their capacity to activate SIRT1, as determined by an ex-vivo SIRT1 assay, their toxicity, as measured by lactate dehydrogenase release, and their effects on replicative senescence in MRC5 human fibroblasts as measured by their effects on Ki67 immunoreactivity and senescence-associated β galactosidase activity. Minor modifications to the parent stilbene, resveratrol, significantly alter the biological activities of the molecules. Replacement of the 3,5-dihydroxy substituents with 3,5-dimethoxy groups significantly enhances SIRT1 activity, and reduces toxicity. Minimising other strong conjugative effects also reduces toxicity, but negatively impacts SIRT1 activation. At 100 μM many of the compounds, including resveratrol, induce senescence in primary MRC5 cells in culture. Modifications that reduce or remove this effect match those that reduce toxicity leading to a correlation between reduction in labelling index and increase in LDH release. At 10 μM, the majority of our compounds significantly enhance the growth fraction of log phase cultures of MRC5 cells, consistent with the rescue of a subpopulation of cells within the culture from senescence. SIRT1 activation is not required for rescue to occur but enhances the size of the effect.

Palladium(II) complexes containing phosphorus and nitrogen donor atoms (iminophosphine), dichlorido{N-[2-(diphenylphosphino)benzylidene]-2- trifluoromethylaniline}palladium(II) 1, dichlorido{N-[2-(diphenylphosphino) benzylidene]-3-trifluoromethylaniline}palladium(II) 2, dichlorido{N-[2- (diphenylphosphino)benzylidene]-2-methylaniline}palladium(II) 3, dichlorido{N-[2-(diphenylphosphino)benzylidene]-3-methylaniline}palladium(II) 4 have been successfully synthesized and fully characterized by FT-IR and NMR (1H, 31P, 19F, and 13C) spectroscopy techniques. These complexes were first step tested in the reaction of bromobenzene and styrene to determine the optimal coupling reaction conditions and then successfully applied as catalysts for Heck cross-coupling reactions of activated and deactivated aryl bromides with styrene derivatives and several acrylates.

Two tandem flow chemistry processes have been developed. A single palladium-catalysed Heck reaction with ethylene gas provides an efficient synthesis for functionalised styrenes. Through further elaboration the catalyst becomes multi-functional and performs a second Heck reaction providing a single continuous process for the synthesis of unsymmetrical stilbenes. In addition, the continuous, rhodium-catalysed, hydroformylation of styrene derivatives with syngas affords branched aldehydes with good selectivity. Incorporation of an in-line aqueous wash and liquid-liquid separation allowed for the ethylene Heck reaction to be telescoped into the hydroformylation step such that a single flow synthesis of branched aldehydes directly from aryl iodides was achieved. The tube-in-tube semi-permeable membrane-based gas reactor and liquid-liquid separator both play an essential role in enabling these telescoped flow processes.
