Honokiol is a natural bioactive neolignan and has been widely researched and structural modified as an anticancer agent. In this paper, 18 honokiol derivatives were synthesized and investigated for their antitumor activity. Among these, the promising compound 5a exhibited much higher anti-proliferative activity with IC50 value of 10.41 μM. Transwell assays showed that 5a could significantly inhibit the invasion and migration of I-10 cells at 2.5 μM, which was further confirmed by the western blotting experiments with down-regulation of the HIF-1α and its associated downstream proteins MMP-2 and MMP-9. Overall, these results provided useful suggestion for further structural optimization of honokiol derivatives.

Honokiol, a biphenolic neolignan isolated from Magnolia officinalis, was reported to have a promising anti-inflammatory activity for the treatment of various diseases. There are many efforts on the synthesis and structure-activity relationship of honokiol derivatives. However, regioselective O-alkylation of honokiol remains a challenge and serves as a tool to provide not only some derivatives but also chemical probes for target identification and mode of action. In this study, we examined the reaction condition for regioselective O-alkylation, in which C2 and C4′-alkylated analogs of honokiol were synthesized and evaluated for inhibitory activity on nitric oxide production and cyclooxygenase-2 expression. Furthermore, we successfully synthesized a potential photoaffinity probe consisting of biotin and benzophenone based on a C4′-alkylated derivative.

Honokiol, widely known as an antitumor agent, has been used as an antiangiogenesis drug lead. In this paper, 47 honokiol analogues and derivatives were investigated for their antiangiogenic activity by application of the transgenic zebrafish screening model, antiproliferative and cytotoxic activity against HUVECs, and three tumor cell lines by MTT assay. 3′,5-Diallyl-2, 4′-dihydroxy-[1,1′-biphen-yl]-3,5′-dicarbaldehyde (8c) was found to suppress the newly grown segmental vessels from the dorsal aorta of zebrafish and prevent inappropriate vascularization as well as exhibit more potent inhibitory effects on the proliferation of HUVECs, A549, HepG2, and LL/2 cells (IC50 = 15.1, 30.2, 10.7, and 21.7 μM, respectively) than honokiol (IC50 = 52.6, 35.0, 16.5, and 65.4 μM, respectively). Analogue 8c also effectively inhibited the migration and capillary-like tube formation of HUVECs in vitro. The antiangiogenic effect and antiproliferative activity of these structurally modified honokiol analogues and derivatives have led to the establishment of a structure-activity relationship.

Honokiol, a biphenyl-type neolignan, which shows the remarkable neurotrophic effect in primary cultured rat cortical neurons, has been effectively synthesized in 21% yield over 14 steps starting from 5-bromosalicylic acid and p-hydroxybenzoic acid by utilizing Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction as a key step. Additionally, the structure-activity relationship between neurite outgrowth-promoting activity and its O-methylated and/or its hydrogenated analogues was examined in the primary cultures of fetal rat cortical neurons, suggesting that 5-allyl and 4′-hydroxyl groups are essential for affecting the neurotrophic activity of honokiol.
