Usage

General Description

(5-methoxy-2-methylphenyl)methanol, also known as genistein, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of phenolic compounds. It is commonly found in various plants, including soybeans and fava beans, and is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Genistein has been studied for its potential health benefits, including its role in preventing certain cancers, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, and improving bone health. It has also been investigated for its potential use in skincare products for its anti-aging and skin-protecting properties. Additionally, genistein has been explored for its potential role in treating hormone-related conditions such as menopausal symptoms and osteoporosis.

Synthesis and SAR of 4-methyl-5-pentylbenzene-1,3-diol (MPBD), produced by Dictyostelium discoideum

4-Methyl-5-pentylbenzene-1,3-diol (MPBD) is a secondary metabolite of SteelyA polyketide synthase, which controls cell aggregation and spore maturation of Dictyostelium discoideum. In this study, chemical synthesis of MPBD and its derivatives was achieved. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies for antimicrobial activities against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis were also conducted.

Some evidence in favour of an electron transfer mechanism in the TiO2 photosensitized oxidation of benzyl derivatives in aqueous media

The structure and/or distribution of products from the TiO2-sensitized photooxidation of some benzyl derivatives in aerated and/or deaerated aqueous media and in the presence of Ag2SO4 are reported. The results suggest that the single electron transfer process from the substrate to the photogenerated hole, previously proposed in CH3CN, should also be operative on gradually going from aqueous CH3CN to pure water.

Ring-substituted 1,2-dialkylated 1,2-bis(hydroxyphenyl)ethanes. 3. Synthesis, estrogen receptor binding affinity, and evaluation of antiestrogenic and mammary tumor inhibiting activity of 2,2'-disubstituted butestrols and 6,6'-disubstituted metabutestrols

The syntheses of symmetrically 2,2'-disubstituted butestrols [meso-2,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)butanes] and of 6,6'-disubstituted metabutestrols [meso-2,3-bis(3-hydroxyphenyl)butanes] are described [2,2'-substituents: H (1), OH (2), F (3), Cl (4), Br (5), CH3 (6), and C2H5 (7); 6,6'-substituents: H (8), OH (9), Cl (10), and CH3 (11)]. Compounds 1-11 were obtained by reductive coupling of the corresponding 1-phenylethanols with TiCl3/LiAlH4 and separation of the meso diastereomers. The binding affinity of the test compounds to the calf uterine estrogen receptor was measured relative to that of [3H]estradiol by a competitive binding assay. With the exception of 9, all other compounds showed remarkably high relative binding affinity (RBA) values between 1.0 and 29% that of estradiol. Compounds 3 and 6 (RBA values: 15 and 29), as well as 10 and 11 (1.7 and 5.2), exceeded those of the corresponding unsubstituted compounds 1 and 8 (12 and 1.0). The compounds exhibited strong (3, 4, 6, and 7), moderate (1, 2, and 10), weak (11), or no (8) estrogenic activity in the uterine weight test of the immature mouse. Compounds 1, 2, 8, 10 and 11 showed antiestrogenic activity inhibiting the estrone-stimulated uterine growth (25-35% inhibition). Compound 11 led to a significant inhibition of the tumor growth when tested on the 9,10-dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene induced, hormone-dependent mammary carcinoma of the Sprague-Dawley rat.
