In this paper, we report the design, synthesis and biochemical evaluation of 2-amino-3-(7-methoxybenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)propanoic acid 9, a myristicin derivative, from cheap and available vanillin as starting material. Compound 9 is identified as a potential precursor of natural brasiliamide derivatives. All the products are fully characterized. The crystal structure of the intermediate diethyl 2-acetamido-2-((7-methoxybenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)methyl)malonate 16, a precursor of this amino acid, is obtained and presented. The interactions stabilizing the crystal packing of 16 were deeply analyzed by considering first the supramolecular stacking and finally, by analyzing the contacts descriptors on the Hirshfeld surface, the molecular fingerprint and the intermolecular energy. Different biochemical properties of the desired amino acid 9 and its selected precursors are investigated. In DPPH test, 9 showed the best anti-radical activity (IC50 = 80.91 μM). The enzymatic, HRP-H2O2/L012, chemiluminescence assay reveals excellent inhibitory effect on the peroxidase activity and a good antioxidant activity of all the tested compounds with the best activity for 9 (IC50 = 0.36 μM). The anti-peroxidase activity observed for compound 9 was confirmed by molecular docking exploration that allows to identify interactions in the HRP-9 complex. Docking results showed that 9 interacts with catalytic and active site residues, especially with Arg38, His42, Ser73, Phe68 and Pro139. Moreover, the inhibition of ROS production by activated HL-60 cells was moderately obtained with compounds 9 and 13. The MTS cell viability test reveals that all tested compounds, except myristicin aldehyde 13, were not cytotoxic indicating that the observed inhibition of ROS production of activated HL-60 cells was not due to cells death. Finally, physicochemical and ADME-Tox predictions suggested that compound 9 could be considered as promising drug candidate.

A series of 5,6,7-trimethoxyflavones 1a-1g and their derivatives 2a-2g, 3a-3d, 4 and 5, including the natural products 5,6,7-trimethoxy-4’-hydroxyflavone (1a), 5,6,7,3’,4’ -pentamethoxyflavone (sinensetin, 1 b), 5,6,7-trimethoxy-3’,4’-methyl enedioxy flavone (1c), 5,6,7,3’-tetramethoxy-4,5’-methylenedioxyflavone (1e), 5,6,7, 3’,4’,5’-hextamethoxyflavone (1 g), 5-hydroxy-3,4,2’,3’,4’-pentamethoxy chal-cone (2 b), 5,4’-dihydroxy-6,7-dimethoxy flavone (cirsimaritin, 3a) and 5-hydroxy-6,7,3’, 4’-tetramethoxyflavone (5-demethylsinensetin, 3 b), 3,5,6,7,3’,4’-hexamethoxyflavone (3-methoxysinensetin, 4) and 5’-hydroxy-3,6,7,3’,4’-pentamethoxyflavone (5) were synthesized. Their anti-proliferative activity in?vitro was evaluated against a panel of four human cancer cell lines (Aspc-1, HCT-116, HepG-2 and SUN-5) by the CTG assay. The results showed that most of the synthetic compounds exhibited moderate to high anti-proliferative activities. In particular, compound 3c possess IC50 (5.30 μM) values below 10 μM against Aspc-1 cells and are worthy of further investigation.

A technologically advanced protocol has been developed for converting plant allyl(polyalkoxy)benzenes to methyl- and propyl(polyalkoxy)benzenes being intermediates in the syntheses of coenzyme Q0 analogues. The key stage of allyl and benzaldehyde moieties hydrogenation was carried out in a periodical autoclave mode on highly porous ceramic block Pd-catalysts. These catalysts possess large surface area, low hydraulic resistance, significant thermal and mechanical stabililty, multiple cycling and easy regeneration, which can dramatically reduce Pd consumption.

An acid-catalyzed stereoselective epoxide ring-opening/intramolecular transesterification cascade cyclization reaction and N-Boc deprotection was found to be a successful strategy to construct the phthalide tetrahydroisoquinoline skeleton in one pot. Based on this strategy, the unified and highly diastereoselective routes for the total syntheses of (±)-β-Noscapine and (±)-β-Hydrastine were exploited.

A feasible and enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-Trans-dihydronarciclasine [(-)-1], a highly biologically active alkaloid, was devised starting from vanillin (8). The key step of this new synthesis was an asymmetric, organocatalytic Michael addition, in which an optically active nitropentanone [(-)-13] was obtained from a butenone derivative (12). Excellent enantioselectivity (>99% ee) was achieved using the (8S,9S)-9-Amino(9-deoxy)epiquinine (16) organocatalyst. The target molecule can be prepared in 13 steps from compound (-)-13. The total synthesis has provided a facile and first access to the ent-form of naturally occurring (+)-Trans-dihydronarciclasine, a highly potent cytostatic alkaloid.

A short and efficient stereoselective total synthesis of (±)-trans-dihydronarciclasine (1), a highly potent naturally occurring antineoplastic agent, was developed from readily available vanillin (7). The key intermediate of this new synthesis was a butenone derivative (11), from which the target molecule could be obtained in 14, mostly stereoselective, reaction steps. Our total synthesis has provided an easy and, up to now, the least expensive access to the title alkaloid.

A concise six-step protocol for the synthesis of isoflavone glaziovianin A (GVA) and its alkoxyphenyl derivatives 9 starting with readily available plant metabolites from dill and parsley seeds was developed. The reaction sequence involved an efficient conversion of the key intermediate epoxides 7 into the respective β-ketoaldehydes 8 followed by their Cu(I)-mediated cyclization into the target series 9. The biological activity of GVA and its derivatives was evaluated using a panel of seven human cancer cell lines and an in vivo sea urchin embryo assay. Both screening platforms confirmed the antimitotic effect of the parent GVA (9cg) and its alkoxy derivatives. Structure-activity relationship studies suggested that compounds 9cd and 9cf substituted with trimethoxy- and dillapiol-derived B-rings, respectively, were less active than the parent 9cg. Of the evaluated human cancer cell lines, the A375 melanoma cell line was the most sensitive to the tested molecules. Notably, the target compounds were not cytotoxic against human peripheral blood mononuclear cells up to 10 μM concentration. Phenotypic readouts from the sea urchin assay unequivocally suggest a direct microtubule-destabilizing effect of isoflavones 9cg, 9cd, and 9cf.

Glaziovianin A and its analogues were synthesized in six steps starting from allylpolyalkoxybenzenes separated from essential oils of dill (Anetum graviolens) and parsley (Petro-selinum sativum) seeds.

We have synthesized a series of novel cis-restricted 4,5-polyalkoxydiaryl- 3-aminopyrazole analogues of combretastatins via short synthetic sequences using building blocks isolated from dill and parsley seed extracts. The resulting compounds were tested in vivo in the phenotypic sea urchin embryo assay to reveal their antimitotic and antitubulin effects. The most potent aminopyrazole, 14a, altered embryonic cell division at 10 nM concentration, exhibiting microtubule-destabilizing properties. Compounds 12a and 14a displayed pronounced cytotoxicity in the NCI60 anticancer drug screen, with the ability to inhibit growth of multi-drug-resistant cancer cells.

A series of novel 4-oxa-podophyllotoxin derivatives 7 featuring the intact lactone ring D and various substituents in rings B and E has been synthesized and evaluated in a phenotypic sea urchin embryo assay along with the representative 4-aza-analogs 5 for their antimitotic and microtubule destabilizing activity. The most active compounds exhibited myristicin-derived or a 3′,5′-dimethoxy substitution pattern in the ring E and a 6-methoxy moiety replacing the methylenedioxy ring A. Compounds 5xb, 5xe, 5yb, 7xa, 7xb, and 7xc showed potent antiproliferative effects in the NCI60 cytotoxicity screen. Notably, growth of the multi-drug resistant NCI/ADR-RES cells was more affected by these agents than the parent OVCAR-8 cell line. Although generally 4-oxa-podophyllotoxins were less potent than the respective 4-aza-derivatives in these assays, stability of the former series towards oxidation may prove to be of interest for the development of anticancer agents with in vivo activity.
