Twelve dihydrostilbenes (including five new analogues) were prepared by the Witting-Hornor reaction from appropriate aromatic aldehydes and phosphonate esters, followed by hydrogenation in five steps. The in vitro inhibition activity against human neutrophil elastase (HNE) of these dihydrostilbenes was evaluated, and three 1,2-dihydroxylated dihydrostilbenes (6b, 6j, and 6l) exhibited stronger inhibitory activity against HNE than other analogues.

Batatasins are endogenous plant hormones found in yams and other related plant species. These plants are widely consumed as botanical dietary supplements in many parts of the world. This study investigated the inhibitory effects and mechanisms of Batatasin I, III, IV, V against α-glucosidase regarding their antidiabetic activities. The results revealed that Batatasin I, III, IV inhibited α-glucosidase in a reversible and noncompetitive manner, with IC50 values of 2.55, 1.89 and 2.52 mM respectively, while Batatasin V completely abolished its inhibitory activity even at the highest concentrations tested. Furthermore, a class of Batatasin-derived compounds with different substitution patterns was synthesized and subjected to the assay to clarify the structure-activity relationships, which suggested that the hydroxyl at the C-2′ position may play a significant role in improving the inhibitory activities. Their probable binding modes and the specificity of the binding sites were studied using molecule docking simulation. It was concluded that Batatasins, especially Batatasin III and IV, are promising α-glucosidase inhibitors, which therefore could be used as functional food to alleviate postprandial hyperglycemia and as potential candidates for the development of antidiabetic agents.

Starting from the previously developed P-gp ligands 1a and 1b (EC 50 = 0.25 μM and 0.65 μM, respectively), new arylmethyloxyphenyl derivatives have been synthesized as P-gp modulators in order to investigate: (i) the effect of small electron-do
