5-Methoxyleoligin and leoligin are natural occurring lignans derived from Edelweiss (Leontopodium nivale ssp. alpinum), displaying potent pro-angiogenic and pro-arteriogenic activity. Cholesterol efflux from macrophages is associated with reverse cholesterol transport which inhibits the development of cardiovascular disease. Within this study, we developed a modular and stereoselective total synthesis of 5-methoxyleoligin which can be readily used to prepare a novel compound library of related analogs. The target 5-methoxyleoligin was synthesized exploiting a recently disclosed modular route, which allows also rapid synthesis of analogous compounds. All obtained products were tested towards macrophage cholesterol efflux enhancement and the performance was compared to the parent compound leoligin. It was found that variation on the aryl moiety in 2-position of the furan ring allows optimization of the activity profile, whereas the ester-functionality does not tolerate significant alterations.

Page/Page column 48, (2016/11/07)
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising specific compounds which may be obtained from Leontopodium alpinum Cass. (Edelweiss). A preferred compound is leoligin (=(2S,3R,4R)-4-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl) -2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl]methyl(2Z)-2-methylbut-2-enoat]). Corresponding means and methods in respect of medical uses of the compounds are described. The present invention also provides a medical device comprising, containing or having been contacted with the compound. The compounds provided herein may particularly be used in the treatment of hyperplastic diseases, in particular intimal hyperplasia, e.g. stenosis, restenosis, atherosclerosis and the like. Also envisaged herein is the use of these compounds in the treatment of proliferative diseases, such as leukemia, prostate cancer and lung cancer.
